E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of the study is to verify the efficacy (measured by the Visual Analogue Scale, VAS) of incobotulinum toxin A, at 8 weeks, for the treatment of painful scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars. |
El objetivo principal del estudio es comprobar la eficacia (medida mediante la Escala Visual Analógica, EVA) de la toxina incobotulínica A, a las 8 semanas, para el tratamiento de las cicatrices dolorosas, incluyendo cicatrices hipertróficas y queloides. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-Treatment efficacy (as measured by the VAS pain rating scale) with incobotulinum toxin A at 4 weeks and 6 months post-injection for the treatment of painful scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars. -Vancouver Scars Scale (VSS), which contains the following 4 components: a) Melanin pigmentation (0-3 points), b) scar height (0-3 points), c) vascularization (0-3 points) and d) flexibility (0-5 points), with a maximum score of 14 points indicating the greatest severity of the scar -Consumption of analgesics for which a diary will be provided to collect the usual analgesic medication. -Assess the safety and tolerability of treatment. |
-Eficacia del tratamiento (medida mediante la escala de evaluación del dolor EVA) con toxina incobotulínica A a las 4 semanas y 6 meses tras la inyección para el tratamiento de las cicatrices dolorosas, incluyendo cicatrices hipertróficas y queloides. -Vancouver Scars Scale (VSS), que contiene los siguientes 4 componentes: a) Pigmentación de melanina (0-3 puntos), b) altura de la cicatriz (0-3 puntos), c) vascularización (0-3 puntos) y d) flexibilidad (0-5 puntos), con una puntuación máxima de 14 puntos que indican la mayor gravedad de la cicatriz -Consumo de analgésicos para lo cual se facilitará un diario para recogida de medicación analgésica habitual. -Valorar la seguridad y tolerabilidad del tratamiento. |
