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

This clinical study is a randomized, double-blind, split-face clinical trial investigating the efficacy of AcusMu (FMD WK) for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. Participants will attend a study center for a two-week period and undergo a two-week post-treatment follow-up after their final treatment session. Each day, they will apply one of two test products: (A) micro-needle patches containing active anti-wrinkle ingredients and (B) placebo patches beneath their eyes. The patches will be gently pressed onto the skin for 5-10 seconds and left in place for 2-8 hours, continuing this regimen for 14 days. Dermatologists will conduct evaluations at four time points during the study: on day 0, day 7, day 14, and day 28 (±2 days) from the commencement of the experiment. The evaluation process will include the calculation of a Fine Wrinkle Improvement Index specifically designed for assessing under-eye wrinkles to measure improvements. Non-invasive skin testing equipment will be employed to measure skin conditions and capture skin images for objective data analysis (Wrinkle Index). Additionally, self-assessment questionnaires will be administered to gather insights into participants' perceptions of the efficacy of micro-needle patches with active anti-wrinkle ingredients and placebo patches in improving periorbital wrinkles over the two-week duration.

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

  • Adult

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
Proportion of Participants With Improvement in Periorbital Wrinkles From Baseline
Time Frame: Over the course of study completion, an average duration of 4 weeks was observed.
  1. This is a half-face trial involving two weeks of treatment followed by a two-week post-treatment follow-up.
  2. Improvements in periorbital wrinkles will be assessed using the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS), which ranges from 0 (no wrinkles) to 5 (severe wrinkles). A lower score indicates an improvement in wrinkle severity.
  3. Each participant's treated half-face serves as the unit of measure. Any decrease in the WSRS score from baseline is counted as an improvement.
Over the course of study completion, an average duration of 4 weeks was observed.
Number of Participants With Adverse Reactions
Time Frame: Over the course of study completion, an average duration of 4 weeks was observed.
Evaluate through skin response sheets: erythema, pain, swelling, etc.
Over the course of study completion, an average duration of 4 weeks was observed.

Study Start (Actual)

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.

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.
