Low Concentrate Detergents Versus Hypertonic Glucose for the Treatment of Telangiectasia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Using of low concentrate sodium tetradecyl sulfate for sclerotherapy of telangiectasias should be no less effective than hypertonic glucose, and have a comparable frequency of adverse events.

Detailed Description
For sclerotherapy of telangiectasias are used detergents. These are aggressive substances, which have a high frequency of adverse events. According to histological studies the safest concentration for the treatment of telangiectasias is less than that specified in the official instructions. The concentration of sodium tetradecyl sulfate 0.15% was effective and did not cause any adverse reactions in the treatment of telangiectasias from 0.8 to 1 mm in diameter. Small telangiectases (0.5 mm or less) require the treatment with the less aggressive sclerosing agent. Perhaps, the sodium tetradecyl sulfate 0.15%, 0.1% or even 0.05% and hypertonic glucose may be more effective and safe in this situation.

| Active Comparator: hypertonic glucose to take photo of problem area in the patient's standing position in the room with artificial lighting using the iPhone 6s and above, Samsung Galaxy S7 and above from a distance of 20 cm. to measure the maximum diameter of telangiectasia using the Dermatoscope scale. to inject the 75% glucose, with a 2 ml luer-lock syringe through 30 G needle in telangiectasia until the vessel disappears. |
Procedure: Sclerotherapy
Examination, photographing, inclusion in the study, signing of informed consent, randomization, diameter measurement, sclerotherapy according to the randomization group

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Disappearance of the telangiectasia [2 months]
The clearing of the vessels on the six-point scale (from 0 to 5 points): 5 - total disappearance of the matting (100% efficacy), 4 - disappearance of around 80%, 3 - disappearance of around 60%, 2 - disappearance of around 40%, 1 - disappearance of around 20%, 0 - no changes.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pain during the procedure: visual analog scale [immediately after the procedure]
Estimate of the pain on visual analog scale. Visual analog scale [VAS] is a measure of pain intensity. It is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal 10 cm length: "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 10).
- Patient Satisfaction After Treatment [2 months]
Assessment of patient satisfaction on the 3-point scale : no result (0 points), incomplete satisfaction (1 point), complete satisfaction (2 points)
