Brief description of study
The purpose of this research study is to better understand rosacea and its possible relation to the nervous system.
Detailed description of study
Researchers in the Department of Physical Therapy of Indiana University at IUPUI are seeking healthy men and nonpregnant/non-lactating women between the ages of 18-45 years old to participate in a research study investigating the relationship between rosacea and the sympathetic nervous system. We are recruiting both persons who have been diagnosed with subtype 1 rosacea and healthy control participants. Participation involves pharmaceutical agents applied to the skin. After completing 2 screening visits which will each take about 30 minutes, participants will complete 2 sessions which each last about 3-4.5 hours. Minor financial compensation is provided for participating in these studies.
