Established in 2004, CIDP (Centre International de Développement Pharmaceutique) is an international Contract Research Organisation (CRO) that carries out high R&D activities for pharmaceutical, medical device, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries.
HAIR STUDIES
CIDP offers a wide range of studies in the hair care segments on:
- Scalp Oiliness
- Scalp dryness
- Dandruff (scalp and hair fiber)
- Hair straightening protocol
- Hair damage
- Hair breakage
- Hair loss
- Hair color
- Brushing
- Scalp Microbiome
Hair Protection/ Damage Resistant
Various types of hair can be collected ( Hair damaged due to excessive UV exposure, use of flat irons etc...)
Markers analysed:
- Hair scaling and imaging by SEM (Scanning electron microscopy)
- Analysis of Tryptophan
- Analysis of Malondialdehyde (MDA)
Reduction in dandruff, dandruff free
Efficacy endpoints:
- Reduction in dandruff lesions
- Reduction in overall scalp inflammation
- Healing of existing scalp lesions.
Evaluations
- Adherent scalp flaking score (ASFS)
- Clinical scoring of parameters like itching/scaling + Subject Evaluation Questionnaires (SEQ)
Less hair breakage, prevent hair fall, Increase hair
Methodology:
Before/After
- Photography of hair and Subject Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ) about feel of hair
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of different hair strands to compare surface damage of hair shaft
- Grading scale based on surface damage
- Hair combing and counting of number of hair fibre
Hair smoothening
Methodology:
Before/After
- Photography of hair and Subject Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ) about feel of hair.
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of different hair strands to compare surface repair of hair shaft
- Grading scale to score level of smoothness of hair
Prevents Hair splits
Methodology:
Before/After
- Photo of hair and Subject Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ) about feel of hair.
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of different hair strands to compare hair shaft / amount of split ends
- Grading scale to score amount of split ends
