Study summary

The goal of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness of Nd:YAG laser 1064 nm in the long pulse mode in the treatment of signs of rosacea including the erythema of the face and telangiectasia. The used parameter of this laser was of very low energy (spot size: 5mm, fluence: 4.07 J/Cm2, energy: 800 millijoules (mJ) and frequency: 5 Hz. About 2-3 passes performed in each treatment session. Up to four sessions were performed for each patient with 2 weeks interval) and also its was expected to have minimal adverse effects.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Definition: rosacea patients. Limit: 30 patients

    Patients with rosacea received treatment with Nd:YAG laser with spot size: 5mm, fluence: 4.07 J/Cm2, energy: 800 mJ and frequency: 5 Hz. About 2-3 passes performed in each treatment session. Up to four sessions were performed for each patient with 2 weeks interval

    Device: Nd:YAG laser 1064 nm

Interventions

  • DeviceNd:YAG laser 1064 nm

    The entire face of each patient with rosacea was treated with long-pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG laser. The parameters that been used were spot size: 5mm, fluence: 4.07 J/Cm2, energy: 800 mJ and frequency: 5 Hz. About 2-3 passes performed in each treatment session. Up to four sessions were performed for each patient with 2 weeks interval.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in erythema of face of patients with rosacea been treated by ND:YAG laser 1064 nm long pulse width by using clinician erythema scale (CEA)

    Erythema was graded from 0 to 4 using clinician erythema assessment scale (CEA). The score 0 is the lowest score of erythema and score 4 means the highest severity of erythema of the skin

    Time frame: Three months

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

Ran from Mar 2023 to primary completion in Nov 2023, 7 months.

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 7 months is below that.

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 Apr 3, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
