UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and 35% glycolic acid (GA) peel for AN.
UNASSIGNED: Forty participants were included and randomized into two groups. In groups A and B, peeling with 15% TCA and 35% GA was done, respectively. The effectiveness of each peel was assessed using changes in the Acanthosis Nigricans Area and Severity Index Score (ANASI) and Physician Assessment Score. Statistical analysis included Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, Friedman test, and generalized estimating equations.
UNASSIGNED: The overall change in ANASI over time was compared in the two groups using the generalized estimating equations method. A significant difference was observed in the trend of ANASI over time between the two groups (P < 0.001). TCA peel group showed more change in ANASI as compared with GA peel group.
UNASSIGNED: In our research, 15% TCA has a better efficacy when compared with 35% GA peel after three sessions of chemical peeling. We therefore recommend the use of 15% TCA peel in AN as a safe and effective treatment option. However, more comprehensive randomized control studies are required for supporting data.
■本研究的目的是比较15%三氯乙酸(TCA)和35%乙醇酸(GA)果皮对AN的有效性。
■40名参与者被随机分为两组。在A组和B组中,用15%TCA和35%GA进行剥离,分别。使用黑棘皮病面积和严重程度指数评分(ANASI)和医师评估评分的变化评估每种果皮的有效性。统计分析包括Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney检验,弗里德曼测试,和广义估计方程。
■使用广义估计方程方法在两组中比较了ANASI随时间的总体变化。两组间ANASI随时间变化的趋势有显著差异(P<0.001)。与GA剥离组相比,TCA剥离组的ANASI变化更大。
■在我们的研究中,在化学剥离三次后,与35%GA剥离相比,15%TCA具有更好的功效。因此,我们建议在AN中使用15%的TCA果皮作为安全有效的治疗选择。然而,需要更全面的随机对照研究来支持数据。
