Clinical trial showing superiority of a coconut and anise spray over permethrin 0.43% lotion for head louse infestation, ISRCTN96469780. [2010.01]
Permethrin is the most widely used pediculicide, but evidence of resistance from several countries and anecdotal reports from Germany suggest that permethrin lotion is now less effective. We designed a randomized, controlled, parallel group trial involving 100 participants with active head louse infestation to investigate the activity of a coconut and anise spray and to see whether permethrin lotion is still effective, using two applications of product 9 days apart...

Efficacy and safety of spinosad and permethrin creme rinses for pediculosis capitis (head lice). [2009.09]
CONCLUSIONS: Spinosad, which did not require nit combing, was significantly more effective than permethrin in 2 studies reflecting actual-use conditions, and most spinosad-treated participants required only 1 application. Spinosad is a more convenient and effective treatment for pediculosis capitis.

Efficacy of a topical ectoparasiticide containing dinotefuran, pyriproxyfen, and permethrin against Amblyomma americanum (Lone Star tick) and Amblyomma maculatum (Gulf Coast tick) on dogs. [2009.03]
Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick) and Amblyomma maculatum (Gulf Coast tick) are important disease vectors for both dogs and humans. This article describes two studies conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a new topical spot-on ectoparasiticide containing dinotefuran, permethrin, and pyriproxyfen (Vectra 3D, Summit VetPharm) against A.
Clinical Trials Related to Acticin (Permethrin)
Safety and Efficacy Study to Compare a 4% Dimethicone Foam and Nix Cream Rinse (1% Permethrin) in the Control of Head Lice [Completed]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a dimethicone foam in the control
of head lice and to compare the efficacy to a permethrin based product.
Metabolism of the Insecticide Permethrin [Completed]
Military personnel are exposed to the insecticide permethrin when using the DOD Insect
Repellent System. A urinary metabolite of permethrin that is in high abundance and is
relatively stable may be an ideal biomarker of exposure to this pesticide. Monitoring such a
biomarker can prevent over-exposure. The objectives are to identify the most abundant human
urinary metabolite following dermal exposure; to utilize this information to develop rapid
laboratory-based and field portable methods to monitor the degree of an individual's exposure
to permethrin.
A Comparative Safety and Efficacy Study of NatrOVA Creme Rinse - 1% and NIX Creme Rinse in Subjects 6 Months or Older With Pediculosis Capitis [Completed]
A comparative safety and efficacy study of NatrOVA Creme Rinse - 1% versus NIX Creme Rinse,
under actual use conditions in subjects 6 months of age or greater who are infested with
Pediculosis capitis (Head lice).
Safety and Efficacy Study of NatrOVA - 1% Creme Rinse and NIX Creme Rinse in Subjects 6 Months or Older With Head Lice [Completed]
A comparative safety and efficacy study of NatrOVA Creme Rinse - 1% versus NIX Creme Rinse,
under actual use conditions in subjects 6 months of age or greater who are infested with
Pediculosis capitis (human head lice).
Effectiveness of Permethrin Impregnated Underwear in Preventing Louse Proliferation in Infected Homeless [Recruiting]
Homelessness, also name the fourth world, is a growing public health problem worldwide.
Previous studies showed that up to 30% of the homeless people reported pruritus that often
results in itchy lesions, which expose them to bacterial skin infections.
The investigators therefore conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
to test the hypothesis that a single oral dose of ivermectin was effective in significantly
reducing the prevalence of pruritus in a sheltered homeless population.
