About this study

Official title: Current Approach in the Treatment of Lichen Planus: Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin ((İ-PRF)

Platelet Rich Fibrine (PRF), which promotes wound healing by supporting angiogenesis, immunity and epithelial proliferation phases. over a decade has since past since PRF was developed and many clinicians now point to the potential use of a liquid version of PRF. a liquid injectable-platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) was developed by modifying spin centrifugation forces. At lower centrifugation speeds and by utilizing non-glass centrifugation tubes, the fibrin coagulation could be slowed down at early time points thus generating an injectable PRF. Much like traditional PRF, i-PRF contains an increase in leukocyte number and is further able to stimulate growth factor release.

Lichen planus is a common chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disorder which generally affect s middle aged adults. Therapeutic methods including topical and systemic corticosteroids for the treatment of oral lichen planus (OLP) are suggested. However, long

-term use of corticosteroids may be associated with local and systemic complications, and moreover, some patients may not be responsive.

The investigators aimed to apply a treatment of autogenous origin (including no foreign products), considering the side effects of our corticosteroids. The study was designed as a split mouth.

The investigators planned to administer I-PRF to one side and intralesional corticosteroid therapy to the other side at patients with bilateral atrophic / erosive oral lichen planus lesions

Read the detailed description

Lichen planus diagnosis will be made histopathologically. Intraoral photographs and measurements will be taken at the beginning of the treatment and 2 months after the treatment is finished.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Platelet Rich Fibrin InjectionOther

    Venous blood will be taken from the patient every session and I-PRF will be created in the centrifuge. I- prf will be injected on one side and corticosteroid will be injected on the other side in patients with bilateral oral lichen planus. Once a week in the first month after treatment and one time at the end of the second month, the patient will be called to the control.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual Analog Scale

    Patients were asked to grade the severity of their symptoms in numbers from 1(very mild pain) to 100 (very sever pain) on the visual analog scale in each visit.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Thongprasom sign scoring system

    The lesions were evaluated according to Thongprasom sign scoring system

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Oral Health- Related Quality of Life index (OHIP-14)

    Patients were asked to grade the Oral Health- Related Quality of Life index

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oral Hygiene Index

    Oral Hygiene Index were evaluated.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Platelet Rich Fibrin Injection and Corticosteroid in people with Lichen Planus, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Analog Scale (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 May 2020.
