Lichen Simplex Chronicus clinical trials

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.

Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser: A Novel Therapeutic Option for Lichen Simplex Chronicus

Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized control trial is to compare the use of fractional carbon dioxide (Co2) laser to topical corticosteroids to treat lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) patients presenting to Dermatology outpatient clinic, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University. Participants will: - Be assessed clinically by doctor - Biopsies will be taken from them by doctor - Receive treatment as laser or topical steroids or both - Fill in depression questionnaire. Researchers will divide and compare groups as follows: Sixty patients will be divided randomly through closed envelop technique into 2 groups (Group A and B) each of 30 patients. Group A will be subdivided into 2 groups (1 and 2). All LSC lesions will be treated in any patient having multiple lesions. - Group 1 - A: Patients will receive 3 monthly laser sessions, in addition to the use of topical emollients only once daily in between the sessions. - Group 2 - A: Patients will receive 3 monthly laser sessions, in addition to topical steroids twice daily and topical emollient once daily in between the sessions. - Group B: Patients will be prescribed topical steroids twice daily and topical emollient once daily for 3 months. to see if: 1. Pruritus severity scale. 2. Scaling, erythema, lichenification excoriation scores 3. Visual analogue scale. 4. Investigator's Global Assessment. 5. Itching mediators (Interleukin-31, Nerve Growth Factor and Substance P assays (itching mediators) 6. Depression improve more in which group of patients after treatment.
