Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Treatment for Rosacea

A single arm, pilot study among individuals with rosacea and at least moderate flushing or rednesss will be enrolled in a 4-week trial of taVNS. The particicpants will be followed for an additional 4-weeks following the intervention period to evaluate the durability of the results

Skin Inflammation in (Peri)Menopause: A Probiotic Intervention Proof of Concept Trial

This study will explore whether a daily probiotic drink containing Lactobacillus casei Shirota (LcS) can help improve immune function and reduce inflammation in women going through the menopausal transition. Hormonal changes during this stage of life can affect the immune system, gut health, and skin, sometimes leading to increased inflammation or conditions such as eczema, acne or rosacea. Participants will consume either a low-sugar LcS probiotic drink or a skimmed milk control drink every day for eight weeks. The study will assess markers of immune ageing, inflammation, skin health, wellbeing, and hormone levels. The results will help determine whether a safe, non-hormonal probiotic approach may support immune and skin health during the menopausal transition.

Evaluating Use of Topical Imipramine and Amitriptyline in Reducing Ultraviolet B Light-Induced Redness in Patients With Rosacea

Rosacea is a common skin condition associated with easy blushing and red face; many patients with rosacea react to sunlight with increased redness. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a topical medication will help reduce sunlight induced redness and irritation in patients with rosacea.

Acupuncture for Refractory Rosacea: A Study on Its Effectiveness and Safety

This study is a randomized, multicenter, sham-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for patients with refractory rosacea. A total of 104 participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the acupuncture group or the sham acupuncture group (52 participants in each group, regardless of sex). The primary aim is to determine whether acupuncture can effectively alleviate facial erythema and flushing episodes compared with sham stimulation.

Vbeam Pro Pulse Dye Laser for the Treatment of Vascular Conditions

This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Vbeam Pro Laser System for the treatment of vascular indications, including rosacea and port wine stain birthmarks.

Determinants of Chronic Inflammatory Skin Disease Trajectories

Although it is well known that the clinical expression and course of chronic inflammatory skin diseases are highly variable, there are insufficient epidemiological data on this, and the factors that determine the manifestation, clinical features and course are also largely unknown. There are currently no reliable markers that could predict or delineate patient subgroups to support patient management. The aim of this project is to identify clinical and molecular factors that correlate with disease, disease subtypes and progression through in-depth long-term clinical characterization of patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases and examination of individual biomaterials.

Analysis of the Microbiome in Rosacea

The skin and gut microbiome of rosacea patients differs from individuals without rosacea and that the microbiome suffers from unique derangements in rosacea patients following antibiotic therapy. This study was proposed to examine microbial signatures of the skin and gut microbiome in patients with moderate to severe rosacea and to identify differences between microbe communities in patients with rosacea and volunteers without rosacea using 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, sequencing and computational phylogenetics and to assess alterations in the gut and skin microbiota of patients with moderate to severe rosacea in response to varying formulations of antimicrobial treatment.

Clinical Evaluation and Study of the Efficacy of a Centella Asiatica-Infused Facial Mask on Discosmetic Dermatosis

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of repairing facial mask containing Asiaticum asiatica in treating disjunctive skin diseases. A multi-center randomized double-blind self-half face control method was used. A computer-generated randomization method was used. Each cheek was randomly assigned to receive the snow glycoside mask and the control group.

The Use of Image-Based Computer Gradings in the Analysis of Acne, Rosacea, Melasma, and Seborrheic Dermatitis

The study is conducted to determine if image-based computer grading can of acne, melasma, rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis correlate well to expert based clinical severity grading.

Effects of Oral Supplement Containing L-Histidine and Antioxidants on the Skin Barrier Function and Systemic Inflammation in Rosacea

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how supplementation will alter the skin and the gut barrier and inflammation in those with rosacea.
