Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparing the Pain Experience Between Patients Who Have and Who Have Not Undergone Dermatologic Procedures (NCT NCT01285947)

NCT ID: NCT01285947

Last Updated: 2021-12-06

Results Overview

The mean pain scores will be compared between naïve subjects and non-naïve subjects averaged over the anatomical sites: periocular (temple), midface/cheek, and abdomen and over all the different treatments. Pain scores were recorded along a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with 0 (no pain- better) to 10 (maximal pain-worst). This is a 10 cm long line in which the subject was asked to draw a line on the scale with 0 (no pain- better) at one end to 10 (maximal pain-worst) at the other end. The drawn line was measured on the 10 cm line using a ruler to obtain the score.
