Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of 7% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream and 2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream in reducing self-reported pain during a single laser procedure in the treatment of acne keloidalis nuchae and tattoo removal.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study we will compare the efficacy of 7% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream and 2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream in reducing self-reported pain during a single laser procedure in the treatment of acne keloidalis nuchae and tattoo removal. Patients will be asked to fill in questionnaires to:

* assess the severity of pain experienced (VAS score) during laser treatment,
* evaluate whether the pain relief is adequate and,
* evaluate the amount of money patients would be willing to pay for the cream that provided the 'best' pain relief.

One week after the visit the patient will have a telephone consultation. The patients will be asked if they experienced any symptoms, which will be recorded as adverse events.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae

2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream and 7% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream will be applied for 60 minutes. After removal of the creams patients will recieve laser hair removal treatment using a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:Yag) laser.

Group Type OTHER

2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream

Intervention Type DRUG

The treatment area will be divided in two equal parts with white markings. Between these two areas an area of 1 cm will be marked. This area will be left untreated, to avoid possible spill-over effects of the two anaesthetic creams. A thick layer of 2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream will be applied on one side to the intact skin under plastic occlusion (average of 1,5-2g per 10 cm2) 60 minutes before laser treatment.

7% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream

Intervention Type DRUG

The treatment area will be divided in two equal parts with white markings. Between these two areas an area of 1 cm will be marked. This area will be left untreated, to avoid possible spill-over effects of the two anaesthetic creams. A thin layer of 7% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream (1mm) will be applied on the other side to the intact skin (average of 1,3g Pliaglis per 10 cm2) 60 minutes before laser treatment.

Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:Yag) laser

Intervention Type DEVICE

Acne keloidalis nuchae: during this study a 1064 nm Nd:yag laser with a spot size of 7-10 mm, and a fluence of 35-60J/cm2, (depending on the effective and safe clinical response), a pulse duration of 20-35 ms and 2 passes will be used.

Tattoo

2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream and 7% lidocaine / 7% tetracaine cream will be applied for 60 minutes. After removal of the creams patients will recieve laser tattoo removal treatment using a Q-switched nd Yag laser.

Group Type OTHER

2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream

Intervention Type DRUG

The treatment area will be divided in two equal parts with white markings. Between these two areas an area of 1 cm will be marked. This area will be left untreated, to avoid possible spill-over effects of the two anaesthetic creams. A thick layer of 2,5% lidocaine / 2,5% prilocaine cream will be applied on one side to the intact skin under plastic occlusion (average of 1,5-2g per 10 cm2) 60 minutes before laser treatment.

This area will be left untreated, to avoid possible spill-over effects of the two anaesthetic creams.

Q-switched nd Yag laser

Intervention Type DEVICE

Tattoo removal: we will use a 3 mm spotsize and a fluence depending on the absorption of the laser light, which is visible as skin whitening.
