A Randomized Exploratory Study to Investigate the Inflammatory Response During an Ultraviolet-Radiation-Induced Cold Sore Episode. Antivirals and occlusive lip patches are key treatments for cold sores. Additional therapeutic options, and validated methods to evaluate these, are needed. This exploratory, double-blind, single-center study aimed to evaluate a novel lip patch containing the antiviral aciclovir (ACV) using noninvasive methods for measuring cold sore-associated inflammation. Healthy subjects with ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cold sores were randomized to 10 days' treatment with a lip patch containing ACV (N = 12) or without ACV (N = 13). Outcome measures included blood flux (field laser perfusion imaging, FLPI), skin temperature (thermography), and skin redness (high

Efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy in recurrent herpes labialis management: a randomized controlled trial. This study is aimed at assessing the therapeutic efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) for the management of recurrent herpes labialis (RHL) by evaluating both pain and clinical recovery. A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was conducted on 40 patients with RHL recovery. Photobiomodulation therapy of herpes labialis reduced pain significantly faster than acyclovir, but there was no difference in healing time between the groups in light of the parameters used in this study. PBMT is a promising treatment that may be an effective alternative to acyclovir in the management of recurrent herpes labialis. com ID: ISRCTN87606522.

Therapeutic effects of acyclovir and acyclovir-clobetasol nanofibers vs. cream formulation for recurrent herpes labialis.

Eighty patients with labial herpes lesions were divided into four groups

Evaluating the effectiveness of topical olive leaf extract emulgel in managing recurrent herpes labialis: a randomized controlled clinical study. Recurrent herpes labialis (RHL) is a lifelong oral health issue that affects about one-third of the world's population, causing frequent, painful, and discomfort lesions. This randomized, triple-blinded study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of olive

Vitamin D serum level in participants with positive history of recurrent herpes labialis. Vitamin D plays an important role in immune system regulation, also its deficiency is assumed to affect the patients' predisposition to viral diseases such as recurrent herpes labialis. In this cross-sectional study, we tried to compare the mean serum level of vitamin D in participants with a positive  = 0.13) of herpes labialis had no statistically significant relation to the vitamin D serum level, the healing duration of herpes labialis was inversely related (p.value = 0.01). Lower-level of serum vitamin D were accompanied by a longer healing duration of the lesions. Although the vitamin D serum level of participants with a history of recurrent herpes labialis had no relation with age and herpes

A phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating a single, patient-initiated dose of amenamevir for recurrent herpes labialis. Amenamevir (ASP2151), a novel, non-nucleoside analog, antiviral drug, inhibits the enzyme activities of helicase and primase, which are essential for replication of herpes viral genomic DNA. In this phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo -controlled, multicenter study, the authors investigated the efficacy and safety of a single patient-initiated dose of amenamevir to treat recurrent herpes labialis. Adult immunocompetent patients with recurrent herpes labialis who had the experience and ability to recognize prodromal symptoms were randomly assigned to administer amenamevir 1200 mg or placebo as a patient-initiated therapy within 6 hours

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination for protection against recurrent herpes labialis: a nested randomised controlled trial. Recurrences of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the orofacial region (herpes labialis or cold sores) impact quality-of-life. We aimed to study whether the bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine can attenuate cold sore recurrences through off-target immunomodulatory effects ). There were no safety concerns. BCG-Denmark vaccination had a beneficial effect on herpes labialis, particularly in males with frequent recurrences, but may increase the risk of a first cold sore.

A novel drug delivery system using acyclovir nanofiber patch for topical treatment of recurrent herpes labialis: A randomized clinical trial. Topical treatment with acyclovir cream has shown low efficacy in recent studies. Nano drug delivery systems, have received much attention in recent decades. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of acyclovir nanofiber patch with acyclovir cream

Photobiomodulation for Preventive Therapy of Recurrent Herpes Labialis: A 2-Year In Vivo Randomized Controlled Study. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the prevention of recurrent herpes labialis (RHL) through a randomized controlled clinical trial. RHL is a lifelong infection that effects patients' quality of life

Uncommon cause of trigeminal neuritis and central nervous system involvement by herpes labialis: a case report. Trigeminal neuropathy is characterized by numbness in the region innervated by the trigeminal nerves, with or without neuropathic weakness in the muscles of mastication. Trigeminal neuritis is a form of trigeminal neuropathy in which the lesion is caused by an inflammation. Herein, we report a patient with trigeminal neuritis due to central nervous system (CNS) involvement of herpes labialis (HL) infection, which was successfully treated with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agents. A young healthy female presented with numbness in the left hemiface for two weeks. She had a preceding typical HL infection on left facial lip one week before the sensory symptom onset. Brain magnetic

Post-marketing Study for the Evaluation of Profilm Cold Sores Experimental clinical study with a post-marketing, prospective, intra-subject controlled design to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of a medical device for the treatment of cold sores, over a maximum period of two weeks (or until the outbreak has resolved). Herpes labialis is a very common skin condition primarily caused by the Herpes simplex virus type 1, which establishes latent infection in the host for life and can periodically reactivate. Episodes can be frequent, painful, long-lasting, and disfiguring, with significant psychological implications for infected patients and their quality of life. A product for this condition should calm and relieve symptoms before the appearance of cold sores, delay or inhibit

Effectiveness of photodynamic therapy as an adjunct to topical antiviral therapy in the treatment of herpes labialis: A randomized controlled clinical trial. The present clinical trial assessed the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in association with topical acyclovir in the treatment of herpes labialis in adolescent patients. 45 individuals with herpes labialis were divided into three with adjunctive PDT significantly helped in reducing the pain and pro-inflammatory biomarkers in adolescent herpes labialis patients.

Photodynamic therapy and Acyclovir in the treatment of recurrent herpes labialis: A controlled randomized clinical trial. Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) is one of the most widespread infections that can effect the orofacial region. Recurrent infection is considered a life-long oral health problem, leading to pain, discomfort, and social restriction due to esthetic features when active

Treatment of herpes labialis by photodynamic therapy: Study protocol clinical trial (SPIRIT compliant). Lesions of herpes labialis are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 and cause pain and aesthetic compromise. It is characterized by the formation of small vesicles that coalesce and rupture forming extremely painful ulcers, that evolve to crusts, dry desquamations until their complete the effectiveness of PDT in lesions of herpes labialis. A total of 30 patients with herpes labialis in the prodromal stage of vesicles, ulcers, and crusts will be selected to participate in the study and randomized into 2 groups: G1 control and G2 experimental. After signing Research Ethics Committee and TA, patients in group G1 will undergo the standard gold treatment for herpes labialis with acyclovir
