About this trial

This randomized, interventional study evaluates the efficacy of Collagendep Pink Beauty, an oral nutritional supplement, in reducing vulvar dryness in women with Genital Lichen Sclerosus (VLS) who are undergoing fat grafting treatment. Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition that leads to tissue hardening, loss of elasticity, and significant symptoms such as itching, pain, and dryness, which severely impact functional and emotional well-being. While fat grafting is a recognized regenerative therapy for stabilizing the disease, this study investigates whether a 4-month course of bioactive collagen peptides and functional ingredients can further improve mucosal hydration and symptom relief compared to fat grafting alone.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Reduction in Vulvar Dryness

Evaluation of the efficacy of Collagendep Pink Beauty in reducing vulvar dryness. This is measured using the "Vaginal Dryness" category of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where 0 represents the complete absence of the symptom and 10 represents the maximum intensity

Time frame
Baseline (T0), 2 months (T1), 4 months (T2), and 6 months (T3)

Secondary outcomes

1

Improvement of Mucosal Hydration

Measured through Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) analysis to evaluate skin barrier integrity and mucosal hydration

Time frame
Baseline (T0) and 4 months (T2)
2

Improvement in Sexual Function

Measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), which assesses six domains of sexual function through 19 items (score 0-5). Higher scores indicate better sexual function.

Time frame
Baseline (T0), 2 months (T1), 4 months (T2), and 6 months (T3).
3

Patient Satisfaction with Treatment

Assessed with a single question: "How satisfied are you with the effectiveness of the treatment received?", using a 5-point Likert scale (0 = very dissatisfied; 4 = very satisfied)

Time frame
6 months (T3)

Other outcomes

1

Reduction of Clinical Symptoms

Assessment of the reduction of itching, burning, and pain using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). The questionnaire consists of 10 items, each rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0-3). Higher scores indicate a greater impairment of quality of life

Time frame
Baseline (T0), 2 months (T1), 4 months (T2), and 6 months (T3)
