What this Trial Is About

This trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of two head lice treatments Elimax Green Lotion Emogreen and Walgreens Lice Killing Shampoo. It includes individuals aged 6 months and older who have confirmed head lice infestations. The research focuses on comparing how well these products work and their safety, including monitoring for skin and eye irritation and any adverse events during the study. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives the Elimax Green Lotion with Emogreen, a device-based treatment that physically suffocates lice using bio-alkane and beeswax, combined with a lice comb the other group receives Walgreens Lice Killing Shampoo containing Piperonyl Butoxide and Pyrethrum Extract. The treatments are applied to dry hair, left on for 10 minutes, then washed out, followed by combing to remove lice and nits. Participants may need to repeat treatment if lice persist, with follow-up over 7 to 10 days. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including evaluation of lice cure rate by day 10, tolerability checks for skin and eye irritation, and monitoring for any adverse events. Additional evaluations include esthetic properties of the hair on days 0 and 7. Participants are expected to follow study instructions strictly and attend scheduled visits, with overall participation lasting through the 10-day treatment and observation period.
