简要总结
The objective of this study is to compare the field of effects of the botulinum toxins (Dysport® and Botox®) using two equivalence-ratios and to gather supportive information, such as more detailed data on the effectiveness in reduction of wrinkles and duration of action on the upper part of the face of both products, trough scales and photographs evaluations.
详细描述
This was a monocentric, prospective, randomized and double-blind study. Twenty nine female patients, presenting with moderate to severe forehead wrinkles, with sweating ability who had never undergone previous BoNT-A injections were enrolled. Subjects have received botulinum toxin type-A injections in two forehead sites, Botox 2U and Dysport 5U, both reconstituted in the same volume of 0.02 mL per point. Baseline, twenty-eight and 112 days later, clinical and photographic assessments, Minor´s test, and electromyographic (EMG) evaluations were performed.

入选标准
- •Written Informed Consent (Annex 1)
- •Subjects agreeing to take part in all procedures of the study, including botulinum toxin applications, Minor's test, measurement of Evoked Potentials, photographs, etc.), after being fully informed on the objectives and nature of the investigations
- •Subjects aged between 18 and 60 years
- •Subjects presenting with moderate to severe wrinkles on the forehead under maximum voluntary contraction of the m. frontalis
- •Subjects with positive Minor's test showing sweating on the forehead in standardized conditions described in Annex 2
- •*The Minor's Test will be the last inclusion criterion to be evaluated. Only these patients eligible according to the other inclusion criteria will undergo the Minor's Test to evaluate their sweating on the forehead. The cut off point is a positive Minor's Test (Level +1) - only subjects with Minor's Test (Level +1) will be recruited in the study (Annex 2).
- •Medical history and physical examination which, based on the investigator's opinion, do not prevent the patient from taking part in the study and use the products under investigation
- •Subjects of childbearing age should present a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline and should be using an effective contraceptive method;
- •Availability of the patient throughout the duration of the study (112 days)
- •Subject agrees not to undergo other cosmetic or dermatological procedures during the study
- •Subjects with sufficient schooling and awareness to enable them to cooperate to the degree required by this protocol
排除标准
- •Pregnant women or women intending to become pregnant in the next 4 months after screening for eligibility
- •Subjects who are lactating
- •Subjects having undergone botulinum toxin treatment within the last 6 months
- •Subjects participating in other clinical trials
- •Any prior surgery affecting the frontalis and/or orbicularis muscles, prior blepharoplasty or brow lift
- •Any prior cosmetic procedures, including fillers, or scars that may interfere with the study results
- •Subjects presenting fronto-parietal alopecia according to the Norwood-Hamilton classification
- •Subjects with neoplastic, muscular or neurological diseases
- •Subjects using aminoglycoside and penicillamine antibiotics, quinine and Ca2+ channel blockers
- •Subjects with inflammation or active infection in the area to be injected
- •Subjects presenting evident facial asymmetry
- •Subjects with a history of adverse effects, such as sensitivity to the components of the formula, ptosis or any other adverse effect, which in the investigator's opinion should prevent the patient from participating in the study
- •Subjects presenting myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert Syndrome and motor neuron diseases
- •Subjects with coagulation disorders or using anticoagulants
- •Subjects with known systemic autoimmune diseases
- •Subjects with a history of medical treatment non-adherence or showing unwillingness to adhere to the study protocol
- •Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, can compromise the evaluation of the study

结局指标
主要结局
Horizontal Action Halo Diameter at 28 Days
时间窗: 28 Days
The colorful complex formed by Minor's test allows the visualization of the area covered by the effects of botulinum toxin on sweat glands, also known as action halos. The horizontal diameter at day 28 were expressed in centimeters and quantified by the software Mirror® (Canfield Scientific Inc., USA).
Horizontal Action Halo Diameter at 112 Days
时间窗: 112 days
The colorful complex formed by Minor's test allows the visualization of the area covered by the effects of botulinum toxin on sweat glands, also known as action halos. The horizontal diameter at day 112 were expressed in centimeters and quantified by the software Mirror® (Canfield Scientific Inc., USA).
