Glaucoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Treatment Outcomes of MicroPulse Trans-scleral Cyclophotocoagulation (mTSCPC) in Uncontrolled Glaucoma at the University of Montreal Hospital Center (CHUM)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the novel form of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation using micropulse diode laser and trans-pars plana treatment (Micropulse TSCPC, mTSCPC MP3, IRIDEX CYCLO G6™ Glaucoma Laser System, CA, USA) in adults for the treatment of uncontrolled glaucoma.
Cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) is a type of cycloablation using laser to treat glaucoma. It involves ciliary body destruction by targeting the ciliary epithelium and stroma, resulting in a reduction in aqueous secretion and hence intraocular pressure. This strategy is effective for all forms of glaucoma. Traditional trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) achieve its cyclodestructive action by using continuous diode laser to target the melanin in the pigmented ciliary body epithelium. However, the continuous mode has been shown to cause significant collateral tissue damage to adjacent non-pigmented structures including the ciliary stroma and ciliary muscle. Traditional TSCPC may therefore be associated with serious complications including uveitis, visual deterioration, chronic hypotony, and others. More recently, a micropulse delivery mode of diode laser (Micropulse TSCPC, mTSCPC) has been used to treat glaucoma by ablating the ciliary processes and reduce aqueous humor production with more selective targeting and less collateral damage. In contrast to conventional laser delivery where a continuous flow of high intensity energy is delivered, micropulse laser application delivers a series of repetitive short pulses of energy with rest periods in between pulses. Only a few studies have described the outcomes of this novel glaucoma therapy, showing mTSCPC to have comparable efficacy with fewer side effects when compared with traditional continuous wave mode diode laser delivery.This improved side effect profile has the potential to make mTSCPC an earlier therapeutic option instead of reserving it exclusively for end-stage refractory eyes. ;
