Trial summary

For procedures involving proximity to the nerves responsible for eye movement, the need to monitor eye movement exists. The current solution is to place needles in the muscles surrounding the eye. The Investigators have invented a non-invasive electrode and software designed to monitor eye movements non-invasively. Read more about this study

About this study

For procedures involving proximity to the nerves responsible for eye movement, the need to monitor eye movement exists. The current solution is to place needles in the muscles surrounding the eye. The Investigators have invented a non-invasive electrode and software designed to monitor eye movements non-invasively. The electrode is placed on the skin on the corner of the eye and using the natural dipole of the eye, detects the horizontal and vertical movements of the eye. The Investigators would like to prove efficacy compared to the standard monitoring.

What participants receive

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

  • EEG Electrode PatchDevice

    The additional electrodes are modified EEG electrodes (used in clinical practice on the head already) placed in a silicone molding. These are placed lateral to the eye with the patient asleep. These are then wired to the same recording apparatus that we would commonly use for recording.

  • Standard NeedlesDevice

    Needles are placed in the muscles surrounding the eye to measure eye movements.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with greater than 95% concordance in signal between the standard needles and EEG electrode patch

    The current method of measuring eye movement is to place needles in the muscles surrounding the eye. For the non-invasive method, the electrode is placed on the skin on the corner of the eye and using the natural dipole of the eye, detects horizontal and vertical movements of the eye. The signal comparison for the two methods would be a biphasic dipole representing eye movements compared to the compound muscle action potential of the invasive method.

    Measured: approximately 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 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 26 Feb 2019. 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?

Number of subjects with greater than 95% concordance in signal between the standard needles and EEG electrode patch (time frame: approximately 30 minutes). 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 26 Feb 2019.
