Pediculosis capitis or head lice infestation is a human medical condition caused by the infestation of the hair by the parasitic insect Pediculus humanus capitis (human head lice). The most common symptom of infestation is pruritus (itching) on the head which normally intensifies 3 to 4 weeks after the initial infestation. The test item has been developed with the ambition to offer a complete head lice treatment, whilst also offering ultimate convenience in use - making treatment of head lice infestation easy, and effective in few minutes. The objectives of this clinical study are to assess the efficacy and the safety of a new Medical Device shampoo for lice infestation treatment compared to a comparator device, already in market.
