Paralytic Lagophthalmos Clinical Trial

Official title:
Modified Tarsorrhaphy vs Gold Weight Implant Technique for Paralytic Lagophthalmos Treatment in Leprosy Patients: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare the effectivity and efficiency of Modified Tarsorrhaphy (MT) technique and Gold Weight Implant (GWI) technique as a surgical treatment of paralytic lagophthalmos in leprosy patients. The hypothesis is that MT technique is more effective and more efficient than GWI technique. This study used PROBE (Prospective Randomized Open-label Blinded-Endpoint) clinical trial.
