About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of the Rapid Access Vitreal Injection Guide (RAVI-Guide)

Hypothesis: The RAVI-Guide provides superior patient acceptability to the conventional lid speculum during intravitreal injections

Aims: To compare patient acceptance and procedural complication rates of the RAVI-Guide with those of the conventional lid speculum and caliper approach

Medical subject headings
Retinal Diseases

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain severity associated with instrument type used for holding eyelids open during intravitreal injection

    A pain severity scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain, and 10 being worst imaginable pain, will be used to grade pain severity.

    Measured: Within 15 minutes of injection procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Procedural complications associated with instrument use during intravitreal injection procedure

    A questionnaire that queries about procedural complications will be completed by the treating physician.

    Measured: Within 15 minutes of injection procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinal Diseases, run by Medical College of Wisconsin at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain severity associated with instrument type used for holding eyelids open during intravitreal injection (time frame: Within 15 minutes of injection procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2016.
