Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of vitamin D ,vitamin C creams and their combined on pregnancy striae in first pregnant women
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, three-way blind, randomized,phase3 on 120patients.For randomization,the seal envelope site is used by specifying the number of 8and16 random blocks
Settings and conduct
The study population was first pregnant women aged 20-18 weeks who referred to Shahid Akbarabadi Hospital. Thus, follow-up will be done during pregnancy for 4 months. Samples will be randomly assigned to one of the groups: vitamin C+D cream or vitamin D or vitamin C or placebo group. Before starting the study, a hypothetical list of 120 items was prepared through the random block method by sealing the envelope site by specifying the number of blocks of 8 and 16, for participants in 4 groups of 30, A, B, C, and D will be created. Numbered, matte, and sealed envelopes will be used to hide the allocation and protect the blind. In this way, the participants will be blinded. One group of cream with code A will be given to another group with cream with code B, another group with cream with code C, and another group with cream with code D.Since this study is a three-blind clinical trial, for the blinding of the researcher and analyst, the worms will be identified with codes A, B, C, D and the type of worms will not be specified.

Randomization description
Before starting the study, a hypothetical list of 120 pieces was prepared and through the random block method by seal envelope site by specifying the number of blocks of 8 and 16, for participants in four groups of 30 worms A and worm B And worm C and worm D will be created. Numbered, matte and sealed envelopes will be used to hide the allocation and protect the blind. The envelopes will be opened in the order in which the participants enter the study. Eventually, 30 people will enter each group. One group will be given cream with code A, another group with cream with code B, another group with cream with code C and another group with cream with code D. These creams will be prepared by the order of the researcher and by a pharmaceutical consultant in the School of Traditional Medicine of Iran. Since this study is a three-blind clinical trial, the worms will be identified by codes A, B, C and D, and the type of worms will not be identified.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Numbered, matte and sealed envelopes will be used to hide the allocation and protect the blind. The envelopes will be opened in the order in which the participants enter the study. Eventually, 30 people will enter each group. One group of worms with code A will be given another group of worms with code B, another group with worms with code C and another group with worms with code D, thus blinding the participants. These creams will be prepared by the order of the researcher and by a pharmaceutical consultant in the School of Traditional Medicine of Iran. Since this study is a three-blind clinical trial, in order to keep the researcher and analyzer of the worms blind, the codes A, B, C and D will be specified and the type of worms will not be specified.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Striae are skin changes that occur in situations where the skin is under the physical pull of sudden growth during adolescence, pregnancy, or in conditions such as Cushing's syndrome, in which severe hormonal changes occur in the body. In mid-pregnancy, reddish, slightly sunken streaks usually form on the skin of the abdomen and sometimes on the skin above the breasts and thighs. These are called stria gravidarum or stretch marks. These lines lose their pigmentation some time after delivery, turn oyster white, and eventually remain atrophic, slightly wrinkled, and sunken over time.
Timepoint
Before, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after the start of the intervention
Method of measurement
In this study, the practical definition is in accordance with the above theoretical definition and the Atwal scale is used to measure this variable. This scale is used to classify women based on the severity of striae. Based on this system, the abdomen, breast, thighs and buttocks are examined for the severity of erythema and the number of stretch marks. The maximum score in each area is 6. The total score is 0-3 without striae or without significant striae, the total score is 4-9 mild striae, the total score is 10-15 moderate striae and the total score is more than 16 is severe striae.
