Filter by:This project is designed as a prospective, randomized, open, controlled clinical trial. For the first time, acupuncture was applied to the treatment of dry ocular neuropathic pain. Its mechanism was discussed by comparing the efficacy between acupuncture and artificial tears.
This study aims to analyze the changes of corneal nerve morphology and function in contact lens-related dry eye(CLADE) patients and further discuss the role of corneal nerve in the genesis and development of CLADE.
To evaluate the benefit of treatment with a physician administered intracanalicular dexamethasone insert in evaporative dry eye disease (DED) patients with meibomian gland disfunction (MGD) and underlying inflammation undergoing iLUX MGD Treatment System.
The primary objective of this study is the characterization of the ocular microbiome in a healthy cohort and in patients with dry eye disease using whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing. Secondary objectives are the identification of differences between the ocular microbiome of healthy controls and patients with dry eye disease as well as between the ocular and the gut microbiome.
EYEdeal Scanning Technology enables rapid measurement of corneal and scleral topography. By accurately measuring the ocular surface with this imaging technology, the current iterative fitting method required to fit PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) devices could be replaced and/or strengthened with a more rapid, automated fitting sequence. This could considerably reduce the time needed per visit, the number of visits, and the number of devices needed to be manufactured to reach the endpoint. Additionally, the scanning technology may afford the opportunity to successfully fit some pathology that were previously treatment failures. The automated technology may as well reduce the intensive clinician training time needed to fit PROSE devices, therefore increasing the availability and access to patients. The goal of this research is to evaluate the reliability and efficacy of this automated technology for fitting PROSE devices. Data from real-time measurement of the human eye ocular surface topography will be used to fabricate a prosthetic lens. The fit of the PROSE device will be evaluated, as well as the subjective comfort of the fit.
Individuals with dry eye tend to present with ocular pain which persists despite the use of topical treatment. This could be secondary to somatosensory impairment attributable to neuropathic pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) on corneal nerves and chronic ocular pain in patients with dry eye.
Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Phase 2 clinical trial. The study objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different concentrations (0.5% and 1%) of progesterone topical gel compared to placebo, when administered twice a day for 3 months (12 weeks) in patients diagnosed with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome.
The program "BlinkBlink" was developed to alleviate dry eye symptoms during prolonged computer work. This study aimed to show subjective and objective improvement of dry eye problems in a sample size of office workers
This is post-market study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MDI - 101 a novel tear substitute for the treatment of dry eye (DE) in subjects with evidence of inflammation of the ocular surface. In particular, this study intends to evaluate, in a cohort of 25 patients, the anti-inflammatory properties of the product under study over a period of 10 weeks
AMASS is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial with the purpose of investigating whether injection of allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) into the lacrimal gland (LG) results in increased ocular comfort compared to placebo.
