About this study

This study will assess the effects of exercise and non-concussive bodily contact on eye-tracking scores collected by the EYE-SYNC eye-tracking device.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose to prospectively study a cohort of 18-25-year-old athletes. Athletes will be tested with the EYE-SYNC eye-tracking device prior to the start of an athletic practice or competition (pre-test) and then after the conclusion of the practice/competition (post-test). The investigators hope to understand if eye-tracking scores are effected by exercise and non-concussive bodily contact commonly incurred during athletic play.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EYE-SYNC eye-tracking deviceDevice

    The EYE-SYNC® portable eye-tracking system. The eye tracker is a handheld isolated display environment with embedded eye tracking sensors. The eye tracker is connected to a high-performance Windows tablet though a customized docking station. Included accessories with EYE-SYNC are a U.S. tablet power supply adapter and disposable sanitary masks. Participants are asked to follow a dot with their eyes, as the dot moves on the screen of the EYE-SYNC device.

  • SCAT-3Other

    The Symptom subtest of SCAT-3 assessment tool will be administered to participants.

  • Desktop Eye-TrackerDevice

    Eye movements are recorded with an eye tracking system (Desktop Eye-Tracker, Eyelink CR, SR Research) with up to 1000 Hz temporal resolution. The target stimulus is presented on a computer screen approximately 50 cm from the participant. Participants are asked to follow a dot with their eyes, as the dot moves on the monitor screen of the desk-top eye-tracking device.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Phase Error

    The EYE-SYNC test was performed before and after practice to analyze the effect of exercise and sub-concussive impact. The movement of eye was tracked using EYE-SYNC. The data were recorded in a surface tablet connected to EYE-SYNC.

    Phase error is defined as the difference in degrees between movement of the target and the movement of the eye. Positive values indicate the eye is ahead of the target; negative values indicate the eye is behind the target.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours

  2. Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Tangential and Radial Error

    The EYE-SYNC test was performed before and after practice to analyze the effect of exercise and sub-concussive impact. The movement of eye was tracked using EYE-SYNC. The data were recorded in a surface tablet connected to EYE-SYNC.

    Tangential and radial error are defined as degrees of variation in eye tracking along a circular path (tangential) and at 90 degrees to the tangential path (radial). Positive values indicate the eye is ahead of the target; negative values indicate the eye is behind the target.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours

  3. Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Vertical and Horizontal Gain

    The EYE-SYNC test was performed before and after practice to analyze the effect of exercise and sub-concussive impact. The movement of eye was tracked using EYE-SYNC. The data were recorded in a surface tablet connected to EYE-SYNC.

    Vertical and horizontal gain are defined as the ratio of velocity (velocity of the eye:velocity of the target). Positive values indicate the eye is ahead of the target; negative values indicate the eye is behind the target.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT-3) Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) Score

    Change in SCAT-3 SAC score before and after practice or game is reported. The SAC score is based on the following assessments: number of symptoms (22 points), symptom severity (132 points), orientation (5 points), immediate memory (15 points), concentration (5 points), and delayed recall (5 points). Scores are summed for a possible range of 0 to 184, with lower scores corresponding to fewer concussion symptoms, and higher scores corresponding to more concussion symptoms.

    Measured: Day of study/event (up to 6 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EYE-SYNC eye-tracking device, SCAT-3 and Desktop Eye-Tracker in people with Eye-tracking, run by Stanford University 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 3 inclusion and 11 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 30 May 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Phase Error (time frame: Up to 6 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 May 2018.
