Erythema Clinical Trial
Official title:
Characterisation of the Time-course Response of UV-induced Erythema
Erythema is a physiological response to an insult on the skin. One such insult is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, with the resultant erythema also known as sunburn. It is a reddening of the skin as a result of increased blood flow to the area. By controlled exposure to UV radiation, a minimal erythema dose (MED) indicative of threshold erythemal sensitivity to the exposure waveband may be determined - this is determined visually by a trained clinician as the dose of light required to cause a just perceptible reddening of the skin. The MED of a specific patient on a specific skin site is an important measurement - it can allow for determination of initial dose in UV phototherapy, provides an indication of background levels of photosensitivity in diagnostic phototesting and may be influenced by exogenous factors, such as photoactive drugs. The erythema response has been measured previously using non-invasive hand-held devices for a variety of UV exposures, including narrow-band (NB-)UVB, UVA and UVA1. Typically, the participant will be exposed in the morning (t = 0h) and have a reading taken immediately after. These readings are assessed visually by a trained clinician, or occasionally reflectance devices are used quantify erythema. The participant will then return at the end of the working day (t ~ 8h) for another reading, and again the next morning for another reading (t ~ 24h). This results in large gaps in the knowledge of erythemal response over time. In this study the investigators aim to characterise the erythema response as a result of UV insult using a wearable erythema device to take continual measurements. This would allow us to more accurately determine the time point of peak erythema, which would inform and potentially change our current practice in reading MEDs. The investigators have previous experience of studies using reflectance devices to measure erythema time course at fixed intervals, however there are still gaps in the knowledge of the time course response of erythema. There is no expected health benefit to participants in this study, however they may gain a better understanding of their responses to ultraviolet light MED testing. Controlled UV exposures are commonplace in our practice in the Photobiology Unit and it is not foreseen that there are any risks to participation in the study. The primary objective in this study is to determine when the peak erythema index occurs in a healthy volunteer group. Success of this outcome will help fill in these gaps in the knowledge about the time course of erythema. The secondary objective is to determine if there is any difference in MED and/or peak erythema if the UV exposure is delivered in the morning vs. the afternoon. The outcomes of the research will be 20 sets (2 per participant) of continuous 48-hour erythema measurements.
