Trial Outcomes & Findings for Neuroskin Forte for Dry Skin Relief in Eczema and Psoriasis (NCT NCT00143819)

NCT ID: NCT00143819

Last Updated: 2017-04-25

Results Overview

Subjects assessed the level of pruritus (itching) on the left and right sides of their body at each visit, ticking the values on a 100-mm scale (0 mm = no itching; 100 mm = worst possible itching) for each side. Percent change from baseline was calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Thirteen (13) subjects were randomized to receive Neuroskin Forte (ie, active) spray on one side of the body and placebo spray on the other side of the body.

Subjects assessed the level of pruritus (itching) on the left and right sides of their body at each visit, ticking the values on a 100-mm scale (0 mm = no itching; 100 mm = worst possible itching) for each side. Percent change from baseline was calculated.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: The eight (8) subjects in the study who had psoriasis were randomized to receive Neuroskin Forte (ie, active) spray on one side of the body and placebo spray on the other side of the body.

For subjects with psoriasis, a global assessment (scale of 0-5: 0 = clear except for residual discoloration; 1 = minimal; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = marked; 5 = severe) was performed and a score recorded for each side of the subject's body, at each visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: The five (5) subjects in the study who had eczema were randomized to receive Neuroskin Forte (ie, active) spray on one side of the body and placebo spray on the other side of the body.

For subjects with eczema, a global assessment (scale of 0-5: 0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe; 5 = very severe) was performed and a score recorded for each side of the subject's body, at each visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Thirteen (13) subjects were randomized to receive Neuroskin Forte (ie, active) spray on one side of the body and placebo spray on the other side of the body.

The subjects' target lesions (ie, a pair of roughly symmetrical bilateral lesions) on each side of the body were scored by the investigator at each visit. Percent change from baseline was calculated.
