Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Patient and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS)

Outcome Description:

The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) consists of two numeric scales. One scale is completed by the patients, the other by the clinician. This scale is different than previous scales because it takes the patient's input into consideration. It has good internal consistency and interobserver reliability. The assessment will take place at Day 0, Week 1, Week 6, and Month 6.

Outcome Time Frame:

6 months

Safety Issue:

No
