Study summary

Nowadays, multiple treatment modalities have been applied clinically to treat striae gravidarum, such as laser therapy, microdermabrasion, platelet-rich plasma injection(PRP), etc. To some extent, these treatments can improve striae gravidarum. In this clinical trial, the investigators are going to treat striae gravidarum by using two different kinds of combination therapies. One is fractional laser and PRP injection synergy, and the other one is treated by nanofat grafting with PRP injection.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will pick out two areas of most severe striae gravidarum on a participant's abdomen. One of the areas will be treated by fractional laser once every three months for 2 times combined with PRP injection once a month for 6 times. Another area will be treated by nanofat grafting once every three months for 2 times and PRP therapy once a month for 6 times. The participants were asked to come back 1、3、6、9 months after treatment for further follow-up.

Before and after the treatment, the striae gravidarum will be assessed subjectively by satisfaction assessment, dermatoscope and ultrasound, and objectively by immunohistochemical analysis.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Immunohistochemical analysis

    The tissue extracted will be taken for immunohistochemical analysis to observe the change of epidermal and dermal thickness, and the distribution and amount of elastic fiber and collagen fiber,etc.

    Time frame: Baseline and 15 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Dermatoscope

    The striae gravidarum will be assessed by dermatoscope to observe the pigmentation condition of striae after the application of laser or nanofat grafting with PRP injection.

    Time frame: Baseline and at 3,6,9,12,15 months after the treatments.

  2. Ultrasound

    The striae gravidarum will be assessed by ultrasound in order to observe the change of dermal thickness of striae after the application of laser or nanofat grafting with PRP injection.

    Time frame: Baseline and at 3,6,9,12,15 months after the treatments.

Other outcomes

  1. Satisfaction assessments

    The participants, investigators and physicians will fill in a satisfaction assessment about any complication during the treatments.

    Time frame: After every sessions of treatments, and at 6,9,12,15 months.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 25, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
