About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of the BTL-785F Device for Improving the Structure of Facial Muscles

This study will evaluate the clinical safety and the performance of the BTL-785F system equipped with the BTL-785-7 applicator for non-invasive facial remodeling and investigate its effect on muscles and wrinkles.

Read the detailed description

The study is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, interventional study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into a single experimental study arm. The subjects will be required to complete four (4) treatment visits and two follow-up visits.

At the baseline visit health status will be assessed and, if needed, additional tests will be performed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be verified and informed consent will be signed.

The treatment administration phase consists of four (4) treatment visits, delivered 5-10 days apart.

Safety measures will include documentation of adverse events (AE) including the subject's experience of pain or discomfort after the procedure. Occurrence of AE's will be checked immediately after the first treatment visit, prior/post to every other procedure and at the follow-ups. Subjects will undergo two follow-up visits scheduled at 1 month and 3 months after the final treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Aesthetic Improvement of the Face

    Three independent evaluators will review the photographs of treated areas for facial firming and lifting improvement (left and right cheeks and the forehead), and will provide an overall GAIS score. In other words, the reviewers will score the aesthetic improvement regarding the facial remodeling for the whole face.

    The GAIS is a clinically validated assessment tool used to assess overall aesthetic improvement such as facelift on a scale from -1 through 3, where the higher score is considered better.

    Measured: 5 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Therapy Comfort

    The 7-point Likert scale Therapy Comfort questionnaire will be used for evaluating the comfort during the treatment sessions. Pain sensation will be rated by the subjects from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Subject Satisfaction

    The 7-point Likert scale Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire will be used for evaluating the satisfaction. The Subject Satisfaction Questionnaire will be given to subjects after the last therapy, at 1-month and 3-month follow-up. The answers to the questions related to the subjects' overall skin and face appearance will vary from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree".

    Measured: 5 months

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?

Aesthetic Improvement of the Face (time frame: 5 months). 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.
