Our clinical observational studies are producing reliable and positive results:
OPERA Study (Pain)
Optimizing Patient Experience and Response to Topical Analgesics
Interim data from our OPERA study suggests that the
topical/transdermal analgesics used by patients in the
study may*:
Reduce BPI severity and interference scores
for adult patients with neuropathic and
musculoskeletal pain
Reduce the number of primary pain complaints
for each of arthritis, neuropathy or radiculopathy,
myofascial/musculoskeletal pain or spasm,
and tendinitis
Reduce the use of oral OTC, anti-inflammatory
and opioid analgesics
TARGET Study (Wound, Scar and Burn)
TopicAl Silicone in RestorinG Scars and Burn Tissue – Evaluating Therapy
Interim results from our TARGET study suggest that the
scar/burn creams used by patients in the study may*:
Reduce scar/burn size (as measured by
clinicians and as perceived by patients)
Reduce itching
Reduce daily living interference scores
and improve mood
Reduce pain medication use
