FAQs 

Which cream will I be using?

For the purpose of this study, you will be using either the active or placebo cream. For every three participants, two will receive the active cream and one will receive the placebo cream

How much of my time will the study require? 

If the study is suitable for you, our team will contact you. We will then email you the Patient Information and Consent Form, which takes approximately 10 -15 minutes to read. Next, we will arrange a 30 minute telehealth appointment with our study clinician.  Once enrolled, you will participate in the study for 12 weeks.  

There is one quick question to answer online each week, that should take less than one minute to complete. 

There are 4 sets of survey questions to complete:

• two longer questionnaires, one before you start the study, and a final one at 12 weeks  

• two shorter questionnaires at 4 and 8 weeks.  

We estimate the longer surveys to take between 20-40 minutes, and the shorter surveys will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Surveys are online so you can use your smartphone/computer. 

The time estimated for the application of the study cream is about 2 minutes, twice a day including time to wash the syringe. We will provide a short video demonstration (3 minutes) on how to apply the cream and instructions on how to fill in the surveys. 

What are the costs involved? 

Participants will receive compensation for time and inconvenience associated with the study.  

Do I have to travel to the clinic?
