Comparison of Simple Blood Lancet(Vitrex®)With DuoTip as Devices for Skin Prick Test Among Mite-sensitized Subjects

The purpose of this study is to compare the results skin prick tests using simple blood lancet (Vitrex®) with DuoTips among mite-sensitized subjects.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

We intend to compare results of skin prick tests by using simple blood lancet(Vitrex®) and DuoTips in terms of wheal size, variability, transfer of allergen and pain level, among mite-sensitive subjects.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

12 years to 60 years (ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Mite-sensitized person
Device: Simple blood lancet
Skin prick testing with blood lancet and DuoTip is performed on the back of mite-sensitized person. Allergen(Der p)is placed in 1st and 2nd row whereas histamine is placed in 3rd row. Allergen and normal saline are placed alternately in 4th row. Block randomization were allocated subjects into 2 groups; Group1:blood lancet is performed in 1st row and DuoTip in 2nd row. Group2:DuoTip is performed in 1st row and blood lancet in 2nd row. Blood lancet is applied in 3rd and 4th row in all subjects. A technician performed device applications and another technician who is blinded to device performed all readings. Pain was assessed on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst imaginable pain

  • Vitrex®

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Wheal and flare reaction to Der p results of skin prick test by simple blood lancet (Vitrex®)
Time Frame: 15 minutes

To determine

  1. Wheal and flare diameter to Der p performed by blood lancet(Vitrex®)compared with DuoTip in mite-sensitized person
  2. Intradevice variability or coefficients of variation of blood lancet compared wtih DuoTip
15 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determine transfer of allergen by simple blood lancet and Duotips.
Time Frame: 15 minutes

To determine

  1. Transfer of allergen(Der p)performed by simple blood lancet(Vitrex®)
  2. Pain assessment by using visual analog scale
  3. Wheal and flare diameter to histamine performed by simple blood lancet(Vitrex®)
15 minutes

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
June 1, 2010

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
