Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

    left cheek and right cheek

    First, apply an appropriate amount of lidocaine cream to your face and wait (30-45 minutes) for the anesthetic to take effect; Second step, after cleaning, mark the injection site on your face, about 25-30 points on one cheek, 1 cm apart, using a randomized half face control trial, Use of botulinum toxin type A for injection (Botox) (Allergan Pharmaceticals Ireland Limited, Import Drug Registration No. : S20171003), 0.5U botulinum toxin type A (Botox) was injected per point on one cheek and 1U on the other. The total amount of botulinum toxin type A was between 15 and 30U on each side.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. CEA score

    Clinical erythema score (CEA) was divided into no, mild, moderate and severe according to the severity of rosacea, corresponding to 0,1,2,3, respectively

    Time frame: 2.4,8,12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. GAIS score

    he Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) score was assessed by the treating physician on the patient's improvement and was divided into four levels: very improved corresponding, substantial improvement, improvement, no change; Corresponding to the best beauty results, significantly improved but not the best, significantly improved, no change

    Time frame: 2.4,8,12 weeks

Other outcomes

  1. VISIA red zone score

    VISIA Red zone score The patient's face was photographed by VISIA analyzer and corresponding indicators such as feature index and percentage were recorded

    Time frame: 2.4,8,12 weeks

  2. Dermatology Quality of Life Score (DLQI)

    The Dermatology Life Quality Score (DLQI) is scored by answering multiple questions in which patients self-rate the impact of their current illness on their lives over a period of one week. The answer is divided into four levels, very serious 3 points, severe 2 points, a little 1 point, no 0 points;

    Time frame: 2.4,8,12 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Apr 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2024, 23 months after the start.

Of 42 interventional studies with no phase under Rosacea, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 29. This study's planned 23 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Feb 28, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
