No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of two photosensitizers, methyl-aminolaevulinate (MAL) and 5-aminolaevulinic nanoemulsion (BF-200 ALA) in the treatment of facial actinic keratosis. We use randomized, double-blinded prospective study design. The efficacy will be assessed clinically, histopathologically and immunohistochemically.
