Patch With Onion Extract & Allantoin for C-section Scar

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The wound healing is a process occurring in response to dermal injury. The resulting scar may have various characteristics ranging from fine-line and asymptomatic to hypertrophic scars and keloids. Prevention or early treatment of pathological scars is the most appropriate approach. Among available remedies, gels and patches containing onion extract and allantoin have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in patients with scars of various origins and severity.

One of the most used natural products is a patch containing allium cepa and allantoin licensed for treatment of the scars including keloids. However, up to date, no controlled studies have evaluated the effects of such a device in women who have undergone Cesarean delivery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of this patch on Cesarean section (C-section) scars.

Clinical Trial Description

This is an observational non-interventional study. Women who underwent C-section were consecutively recruited at University Hospital of Salerno. Taking into account the number of C-section the study population was divided into two groups: Group A included subjects without a prior history of C-section, group B subjects who had already undergone previous C-section. At baseline after stitches removal, scars assessment was made using digital photographs and the validate Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS). After 4 weeks, during the outpatient visit, women from both group A and B were asked whether had applied some natural products on the scars or not. In this occasion, the C-section of the women who had applied a patch containing allium cepa and allantoin as well as those of women who had not used any products (who represented the control group) were re-evaluated as at baseline. The Observers were blinded. One of them performed the scars assessment at baseline, the other one after 4 weeks. During the outpatient visit an informed consent for participation was obtained by all the subjects costituing the study population. The participation to the study was voluntary ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
