About this study

Official title: Clinical Treatment of Traumatic Optic Neuropathy: Optic Nerve Decompression Randomized Controlled Study

The pathophysiology of Traumatic Optic Neuropathy (TON) include a primary and secondary mechanism of injury. At present, no studies validate a particular approach to the management of TON. There are three management lines for these patients that include 1)observation only;2)medical treatment with high or megadoses of methylprednisolone; and 3)surgical intervention. Studies have shown that forces applied to the frontal bone and malar eminences are transferred and concentrated in the area near the optic canal. The tight adherence of the optic nerve's dural sheath to the periosteum within the optic canal is also thought to contribute to this segment of the nerve being extremely susceptible to the deformative stresses of the skull bones. In this study, investigators aim to make a randomized controlled trial to certify the efficiency of optic nerve canal decompression for TON patients.

Read the detailed description

surgical intervention's efficiency and outcome for TON patients will be clearly present after this randomized controlled trial study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Amplitude and Latency of Visual-Evoked Potential

    Name of Scale: Visual-Evoked Potential Physiological Parameter: Amplitude and Latency Questionnaire: Trauma day and 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days after trauma. Two more test for the day before surgery(Medical) and the day after surgery(Medical).

    Measurement collection: Inpatient and outpatient

    Measured: from trauma day to 60 days after trauma

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Vision level of Visual Acuity

    Name of Scale: Level Vision and Visual acuity chart from 0.1 to 1.5 Physiological Parameter: light perception, hand motion and Visual Acuity Chart from 0.1 to 1.5 Questionnaire: Trauma day and 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days and 60 days after trauma. Two more test for the day before surgery(Medical) and the day after surgery(Medical).

    Measurement collection: Inpatient and outpatient

    Measured: from trauma day to 60 days after trauma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optic canal and optic nerve sheath decompression and methylprednisolone in people with Traumatic Optic Neuropathy, run by Shanghai Changzheng Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 17 Mar 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Lijun Hou, MD,PhD (86 21 81885671, houlijunsmmu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Amplitude and Latency of Visual-Evoked Potential (time frame: from trauma day to 60 days after trauma). 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 17 Mar 2016.
