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.\n\nThe 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.'}, 'eligibilityModule':
