7 Nijhuis, WA, et.al. A randomised trial of honey barrier cream versus zinc oxide ointment British Journal of Nursing, 2012 (Tissue Viability Supplement), Vol 21, No 20. (^^) Zinc oxide ointment A skin-drying agent, which acts like a barrier, and may treat skin conditions which are associated with decreased plasma zinc levels Medihoney Barrier Cream Film barrier cream containing 30% sterile Medihoney (Active Leptospermum Manuka Honey), for protection and healing damaged or injured skin. Honey has been known for its healing properties in wounds for years. Medihoney has Antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It improves wound healing and reduces pain. Objective To compare the beneficial effect of honey barrier cream (Medihoney ) to standard treatment with zinc-oxide ointment in patients with chronic Intertrigo
8 Nijhuis, WA, et.al. A randomised trial of honey barrier cream versus zinc oxide ointment British Journal of Nursing, 2012 (Tissue Viability Supplement), Vol 21, No 20. (^^) Study design Randomized cross-comparative (left-right comparison) study of the therapeutic efficacy of Medihoney Barrier Cream versus zinc oxide ointment Sample size 31 patients Study protocol Both products were applied twice daily for 3 weeks to the symmetrical skin folds with intertrigo. By consistent application of the products on the same side, patients were used as their own controls
9 Measurement Examination of the severity of Intertrigo: days 7 (Primary endpoint), 14 and 21 Severity of symptoms: pruritus, pain, burning or odor, was evaluated with a 4- point scale (never, seldom, sometimes, often). Treatment preference of patient and nursing staff: evaluated at day 21
10 Nijhuis, WA, et.al. A randomised trial of honey barrier cream versus zinc oxide ointment British Journal of Nursing, 2012 (Tissue Viability Supplement), Vol 21, No 20. (^^) Results Primary endpoint: 55% of the patients in the Medihoney had a positive 2-point difference for the honey side, while 37% for the Zinc oxide ointment side Symptom resolution: Mean complaints of pruritus was 2 for the Zinc oxide side, while it was only 1.6 for the Medihoney side (p<0.05). 20% reduction in symptoms Users satisfaction survey: 66% of the patients preferred the Medihoney treatment
11 Mean intertrigo severity scores
12 Mean complaints of pruritus
13 Nijhuis, WA, et.al. A randomised trial of honey barrier cream versus zinc oxide ointment British Journal of Nursing, 2012 (Tissue Viability Supplement), Vol 21, No 20. (^^) Conclusion Medihoney Barrier Cream is as effective as the standard treatment, with the advantage of not needing to be cleansed from the skin, which is required with zinc-oxide ointment Medihoney Barrier Cream reduced pruritus more effectively and is comfortable for patients
