Published Studies Related to Acticin (Permethrin)
Clinical trial showing superiority of a coconut and anise spray over permethrin 0.43% lotion for head louse infestation, ISRCTN96469780. [2009.04.03]
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...
Pyridostigmine, diethyltoluamide, permethrin, and stress: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess safety. [2006.10]
CONCLUSION: Combined, correct use of pyridostigmine, diethyltoluamide, and permethrin is well tolerated and without evidence of short-term physical or neurocognitive impairment.
Albendazole: single or combination therapy with permethrin against pediculosis capitis. [2006.03]
Pediculosis capitis is a worldwide problem and a growing concern because of resistance to pediculicides. In the present study, we investigated whether albendazole could be used in the treatment of pediculosis capitis in combination with 1% permethrin or alone... The results of this study suggest that albendazole is effective against pediculosis capitis and there is no synergistic effect between albendazole and 1% permethrin.
Initial evaluation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and permethrin absorption in human volunteers under stress conditions. [2006.02]
OBJECTIVES: This was a pilot study to determine (1) whether it is feasible to effectively blind human subjects to the presence of the insect repellents N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and permethrin; (2) whether DEET affects the absorption of permethrin; and (3) whether combat videotape viewing and mental arithmetic are stressful... CONCLUSIONS: It is possible to blind subjects with respect to DEET and permethrin. Permethrin on clothing does not enter the bloodstream at appreciable levels. Combat videotapes and mental arithmetic can be stressful.
Comparison of the efficacy of topical 1% lindane vs 5% permethrin in scabies: a randomized, double-blind study. [2006.01]
BACKGROUND: Permethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, is not yet available in Iran and may be a useful substitute for the control of scabies in Iran. AIM: To compare the efficacy of topical lindane with topical permethrin in the treatment of scabies in a population in Iran... CONCLUSION: Permethrin (5%) cream was found to be significantly more effective in the treatment of scabies in comparison with lindane in this study, and it seems that it could be an alternative treatment.
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 a Vitamin Mineral Supplement [Active, not recruiting]
The goal of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new one-a-day Cooper complete
vitamin supplement with or without a combined omega-3 fatty acid supplement on selected
clinical risk factor measures. Participants taking the Cooper Complete one-a-day vitamin plus
omega-3 fatty acid will have greater improvement in homocysteine, LDL cholesterol, and
C-reactive protein than those taking the other supplements.
