Enhanced Transcutaneous Delivery of Betamethasone for the Treatment of Vitiligo
An Enhanced Transcutaneous Delivery of Topical Betamethasone for the Treatment of Vitiligo Disease
Study Overview

Conditions
Detailed Description
Vitiligo is a psychologically devastating disorder. The fact that it typically occurs in exposed areas (the face and hands) has a major impact on self-esteem and perception of self. While lesions are usually asymptomatic, the psychosocial impact on patients can be tremendous.
Currently available medical therapies for vitiligo are unsatisfactory and there is no FDA approved drug for the treatment of vitiligo. The perfect medication for this disease would be a topically applied formulation that can rapidly restore pigmentation without systemic absorption or cutaneous side effects.
Tixel is a novel non-laser thermo-mechanical system (Tixel, Novoxel, and Israel), that is, a registered medical device in several countries worldwide. The mechanism of action is by evaporation and thermal decomposition of stratum corneum and the dehydration of epidermis.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety profile of a novel approach using an energy-based device (Tixel, Novoxel, and Israel), followed by the topical application of Bethametasone for the treatment of vitiligo.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient's global impression of change (PGIC) scale
Time Frame: up to 2 years
|
The self-report measure Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) reflects a patient's belief about the efficacy of treatment.
Although widely used in chronic pain clinical trials, PGIC's validity has not been formally assessed.
PGIC is a 7 point scale depicting a patient's rating of overall improvement.
Patients rate their change as "1- very much improved," "2- much improved," "3- minimally improved," "4-no change," "5- minimally worse," "6- much worse," or "7- very much worse."

Dermatology life quality index (DLQI)
Time Frame: up to 2 years
|
The Dermatology life Quality Index (DLQI) is a ten-question questionnaire used to measure the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of an affected person. There are 10 questions, covering the following topics: symptoms, embarrassment, shopping and home care, clothes, social and leisure, sport, work or study, close relationships, sex, treatment. Each question refers to the impact of the skin disease on the patient's life over the previous week Each question is scored from 0 to 3, giving a possible score range from 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life). A series of validated "band descriptors" were described in 2005 to give meaning to the scores of the DLQI. These bands are as follows: 0-1 = No effect on patient's life, 2-5 = Small effect, 6-10 = Moderate effect, 11-20 = Very large effect, 21-30 = Extremely large effect. |
