Study ResultsOur 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
