Filter by:This study is designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of test head lice shampoo (Test product) versus Goldgeist® Forte (reference product) following two applications.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Comparison effectiveness of Oral ivermectin , 1% Permethrin shampoo and 4% Dimeticone liquid gel in the treatment of Pediculosis capitis, to assess the prevalence of lice and associated risk factors between severity groups by using questionnaire-based surveys and diagnostic tests among school children in Baan Nayao, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. The main questions it aims to answer are - What is more effective between Oral ivermectin , 1% Permethrin shampoo and 4%Dimeticone liquid gel in the treatment of Pediculosis capitis in school children in Baan Nayao, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand? - What is Prevalence and risk factors of being infected with in head lice in school and community? - What is Side effects of Oral ivermectin , 1% Permethrin shampoo and 4%Dimeticone liquid gel? Participants will receive three different drugs are - oral ivermectin - 4% Dimeticone liquid gel - 1% Permethrin shampoo Participants voluntarily received oral ivermectin as per medical prescription, with treatment outcomes, side effects, and satisfaction levels monitored following two treatment cycles. Those exhibiting persistent lice infestations were subsequently treated with 1% permethrin shampoo, the standard treatment, while alternatives were provided for individuals allergic to permethrin. These findings will contribute to formulating tailored, effective, and safe treatment regimens for future patients.
Pediculosis capitis or head lice infestation is a human medical condition caused by the infestation of the hair by the parasitic insect Pediculus humanus capitis (human head lice). The most common symptom of infestation is pruritus (itching) on the head which normally intensifies 3 to 4 weeks after the initial infestation. The test items have been developed with the ambition to offer a complete head lice treatment, whilst also offering ultimative convenience in use - making treatment of head lice infestation easy, and effective in few minutes. The main objective of this clinical study is to confirm the efficacy on head lice treatment of two Medical Devices, already in market.
In children, pediculosis is a common ectoparasitic infestation. Infestation of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) causes a variety of physical symptoms, including pruritus, excoriation, cervical lymphadenopathy, and conjunctivitis1. It also has a number of negative social consequences, including parental anxiety and stigmatization of infested children2. It is a significant public health issue that primarily affects school-aged children aged 8 to 113. In developing nations, prevalence rates of up to 40% have been reported4. The four urban areas of KPK (NWFP) reported prevalence of 36.7%5. People with a low socioeconomic background and poor hygiene are more likely to be affected6. Pediculosis capitis has been treated using a variety of treatment modalities. They include both physician prescription and over-the-counter medications. Permethrin or ivermectin had been used topically or orally. Permethrin is a neurotoxin that is synthesized. It is a pyrethroid neurotoxic that targets voltage-sensitive Sodium ion receptors in the neurological system of the insect, triggering nerve depolarization, hyperexcitation, muscular paralysis, and, eventually, parasite death7. Ivermectin is antiparasitic medication, it is possible to treat diseases like lymphatic filariasis, and ectoparasite infestations, primarily scabies, with ivermectin because it binds to glutamate gated chloride ion receptors of invertebrates and disrupts neurotransmission8. The rationale of this study is to study while comparing effectiveness of oral ivermectin and topical permethrin in management of pediculosis. The topical medication usage is problematic and had reported drug resistance9. There has been less regional or national research on the effectiveness of oral Ivermectin, so doctors less frequently use it in our department. Instead, the patients are treated for pediculosis capitis with topical Permethrin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Vamousse Spray 'n' Go, compared to a 1% Permethrin control shampoo, in the treatment of head lice.

The objectives of this clinical study are to assess the efficacy and the safety of a new Medical Device for lice infestation treatment compared to a comparator device, already in market.
The present study is set-up to compare in vivo clinical performance and safety of the test product (X92001752) versus 3 other pediculicides (2 medical devices and 1 conventional pesticide).
Randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled, multicenter comparative study on the treatment of acute head lice infestation in children with 2 dimeticone preparations with different application times and compositions: Dimet 5® (100% dimeticone) versus Hedrin® Once Liquid Gel (4% dimeticone + nerolidol) with treatment success assessment via freedom from infestation of live head lice at final examination at V2, i.e. day 19 after first treatment.
Pediculosis capitis is a parasitic infestation that can cause scalp pruritus and quality of life disturbances. There are two objective measurement for pruritus, visual analog scale (VAS) and 5-D itch scale, which can assess the severity of the scalp pruritus and the latter can also asses the quality of life affected by pruritus. Even though VAS can not be used to evaluate the impact of pruritus on quality of life, it is very easy to use while 5-D itch scale is complex and not child-friendly. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between two different pruritus scales and to establish validity of pruritus VAS scale in evaluating quality of life in children with pediculosis capitis. We compare two pruritus scale on students with pediculosis of two boarding school in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia.
The present study is set-up to compare in vivo clinical performance and safety of the test product versus an in the US commercially available, pyrethrum-based product (RID® shampoo).
