NCT ID: NCT06175676 Completed - Clinical trials for Dacryocystorhinostomy

Safety and Efficacy of Thermosensitive Hydroxybutyl Chitosan and 5-fluorouracil Assisted Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy in the Treatment of Chronic Dacryocystitis

Start date: December 3, 2021
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) has the advantages of less surgical trauma, shorter time, less postoperative bleeding, faster recovery, and no skin scars. However, the success rate of En-DCR surgery still varies greatly between 58% and 94% , and the main reason for the failure of the surgery is the membranous closure of the anastomosis. The application of new packing materials in dacryocystorhinostomy provides some new ways to improve the success rate of En-DCR. Hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBCS), with its non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial, moisturizing properties, water solubility and temperature sensitivity, is widely used in biomedicine to prevent postoperative adhesions. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolite drug that is effective in the treatment of keloids. The application of 5-FU in glaucoma filtration surgery has demonstrated its good safety and efficacy. Studies have shown that antimetabolites as adjuvant therapy for DCR have a positive impact on improving the success rate of surgery In this study, thermosensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan will be applied to the anastomosis site of the nasal mucosal flap and the lacrimal mucosal flap, or 0.3ml of 5-fluorouracil solution (25mg/ml) was injected into the nasal mucosa around the anastomosis at the same time. The investigators would like to observe the different situations of clinical symptoms, lacrimal duct flushing, endoscopy, and bacterial flora changes in patients with chronic dacryocystitis, to compare them with the previous intraoperative packing of gelatin sponge wrapped with thrombin and Tobramycin Dexamethasone. Furthermore, the investigators intend to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HBCS and 5-FU adjuvant internal En-DCR in the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis, and provide new ideas for the adjuvant therapy of En-DCR.

NCT ID: NCT05663684 Recruiting - Epiphora Clinical Trials

Does Topical Ophthalmic Proparacaine 0.5% Prior to Probing and Irrigation Decrease Pain?

Start date: June 30, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Purpose: It is unknown whether instillation of a drop of anesthetic ophthalmic solution into the eye such as proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5% prior to probing and irrigation of the tear duct (lacrimal drainage) system improves participant comfort during the procedure. To date, there have been no formal studies evaluating the possible benefit of this pretreatment. Methods: Participants 18 years and older who present to the Louisiana State University or associated outpatient ophthalmology clinic(s) with a complaint of epiphora (excessive tearing) who necessitate bilateral lower lid probing and irrigation of the lacrimal drainage system will be enrolled in the study. One eye will be randomized to receive a drop of the anesthetic Proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5% and the other eye will receive a control drop of Balanced Salt Solution (BSS). Probing and irrigation will then be performed in the usual fashion. The participant will then be questioned via survey on a pain scale of 1-5 as to the amount of subjective pain experienced on each side during the procedure. Expected Results: Investigators expect participants will experience statistically significantly less pain in eyes that have received a drop of Proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5% prior to performance of probing and irrigation compared to the eyes which have received the control drop.

NCT ID: NCT05500950 Completed - Computed Tomography Clinical Trials

Color Doppler Ultrasound in Lacrimal Sac Space-occupying Lesions

Start date: January 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal duct obstruction are the main common causes of epiphora. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a widely used and effective treatment for dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Among these cases, some patients have space-occupying lesions in the lacrimal sac area, such as dacryoliths, mucoceles, granulomas, and even tumors. For patients with lacrimal sac tumors, a more complex treatment plan needs to be adopted, and the severity of the disease and the complexity of treatment should be informed before surgery, since more than 55% of lacrimal sac tumors are malignant. Therefore, preoperative diagnosis and identification of lacrimal sac space-occupying lesions is important. For lack of imaging examinations, and the symptoms of patients with space-occupying lesions are often similar to those of dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal duct obstruction, which lead to the diagnosis of lacrimal sac space-occupying lesions was not discovered before DCR. CDU has been used for the observation of lacrimal gland tumors. This study has attempted to assess the CDU and CT dacryocystography characteristics of the lacrimal sac space-occupying lesions.

Analgesic Efficacy of Pre-operative Oral Pregabalin in Dacryocystorhinostomy Surgery

Start date: January 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of preoperative oral pregabalin on postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in patients undergoing DCR surgery. The primary outcome is to compare pain scores by visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes are the time of first analgesic request, the total analgesic requirements during the postoperative 24 hours, the incidence of PONV, in addition to effect on hemodynamic parameters between the two groups.

NCT ID: NCT04793230 Completed - Clinical trials for Dacryocystitis; Chronic

Nasolacrimal Sac Biopsy in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy

Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

During dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), the lacrimal sac wall biopsy is not routinely performed, but it is recommended if there is a suspicion of underlying disease other than preoperatively or intraoperatively chronic inflammation. We aimed to evaluate the utility of the histopathology examination of fifty patients in AlAzhar Hospitals to put recommendation for histopathology examination of such cases.

NCT ID: NCT04229771 Terminated - Epiphora Clinical Trials

Does Topical Ophthalmic Anesthetic Prior to Probing and Irrigation Decrease Pain?

Start date: June 30, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Purpose: It is unknown whether instillation of a drop of anesthetic ophthalmic solution into the eye such as proparacaine hydrochloride 0.5% prior to probing and irrigation of the tear duct (lacrimal drainage) system improves participant comfort during the procedure. To date, there have been no formal studies evaluating the possible benefit of this pretreatment.

NCT ID: NCT00706251 Completed - Dacryocystitis Clinical Trials

Follow up of Nasolacrimal Intubation in Adults

Start date: January 2000
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

For patients with chronic epiphora, Dacryocystorhinostomy is currently the gold standard treatment, with a success rate of 80-90% according to literature. Another available treatment, which is far less used, in nasolacrimal intubation, using a silicone tube. In our study, we would like to find the efficacy of nasolacrimal duct intubation, which was performed in our medical center on a few hundred patients with mild epiphora. Study hypothesis: nasolacrimal intubation in adults, with a clinically mild epiphora, is close in it's efficacy to the Dacryocystorhinostomy procedure.
