About this study

Official title: Measurement of the Retinal Oxygen Saturaiton After Long-term Silicon Oil Tamponade With Oxymap

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of long-term tamponade with silicone oil on retinal saturation with Oxymap.

Read the detailed description

Silicone oil is the first choice treatment for long-term vitreous replacement in complicated cases of retinal detachment. However, it will cause various problems for permanent tamponade, such as keratopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, and silicone oil emulsification3. In addition, silicone oil has the potential to cause retinal toxicity. Moreover, the gravity and mechanical pressure of the silicone oil on the retina may influence retinal blood flow and, and the presence of silicone oil in the vitreous cavity may block the oxygen exchange between the retinal surface and the vitreous humor, resulting in the metabolic disturbance of the retina. In this study, the investigators utilized a noninvasive measurement (Oxymap, Reykjavik, Iceland) to evaluate the effect of silicone oil tamponade on oxygen saturation and diameter in retinal vessels in complicated retinal detachment cases.

What is being measured

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

  1. The changes from baseline in the retinal oxygen saturation by Oxymap at 2 months

    Measured: 1 day before silicone oil removal and 2 months after silicone oil removal.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The changes from baseline in the retinal vessel width by Oxymap at 2 months

    Measured: 1 day before silicone oil removal and 2 months after silicone oil removal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Silicone oil removal in people with Retinal Detachment, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 22 Apr 2015. 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 China. 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?

The changes from baseline in the retinal oxygen saturation by Oxymap at 2 months (time frame: 1 day before silicone oil removal and 2 months after silicone oil removal.). 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 22 Apr 2015.
