A Pilot Study to Compare the Efficacy of Pilocarpine Microneedles With Iontophoresis Method for Sweat Induction in Healthy Human Subjects
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pilocarpine microneedle patch and Pilocarpine Iontophoresis for Cystic Fibrosis. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators want to test in this non-randomized clinical trial a new method of administrating Pilocarpine medicine into the skin during the Sweat testing process that does not use any electrical current.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Each microneedle (MN) patch contains an array of solid, water-soluble, micron-scale needles that encapsulate the medication (Pilocarpine). The patch form can be placed directly on the skin.
Pilocarpine Iontophoresis is a process of transdermal pilocarpine delivery by use of a voltage gradient on the skin. An agar gel disc containing pilocarpine is placed under the electrodes which are connected to the Macroduct 3700 Sweat Inducer device.
