Who may be able to join

  • Diabetic patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy that were candidate for phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation

Who cannot join

  • Eyes with clinically significant macular edema based on the ETDRS(Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) study and/or central macular thickness >260µ were not included. Neither did we include the eyes with other accompanying diseases affecting the macula or eyes with history of previous retinal laser photocoagulation or intraocular surgery.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Topical Sodium Diclofenac on Macular Thickness in Diabetic Eyes After Phacoemulsification: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Eyes of 108 diabetic patients have underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery have enrolled. Fifty four eyes have received the conventional postoperative care with steroid drop, whereas the other group (54 eyes) have given a preoperative diclofenac drop four times daily in addition to steroid drop and continued six weeks after surgery. All patients have evaluated by Optical coherence tomography (OCT) preoperatively and days 1, 30, and 90.The outcome measures including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and OCT findings were compared in and between both groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prescribe ARTIFICIAL TEAR and Prescribe diclofenac sodium drop 0.1% in people with Diabetic Oculopathy, run by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2014. 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 Iran. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

macular thickness changes (time frame: preoperatively until 90 days). 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 3 Dec 2014.
