Summary
This trial seeks to understand how stress can trigger rosacea symptoms to inform treatments for the 16 million Americans it affects.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy males and females with mild to moderate rosacea, who are not pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants should not have any major health issues like heart or neurological disorders, no recent drug/alcohol abuse, no allergies to protocol drugs, non-smokers, and a BMI under 35.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how stressors affecting the 'fight or flight' nervous system contribute to rosacea symptoms. It aims to improve understanding of this relationship in order to develop better treatments for those suffering from rosacea.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the trial involves studying the effects of systemic and local stressors on individuals with rosacea rather than testing new medications, specific side effects are not listed but may include temporary increased redness or inflammation.
