About this study

This is a study of the compliance of the lamina cribrosa with change in eye pressure.

Read the detailed description

Glaucoma patients and control subjects will have their internal eye structure (lamina cribrosa) imaged by optical coherence tomography (OCT) standard images at two different eye pressures. In some participants, the eye pressure will be changed by one of two interventions, wearing goggles or having laser suturelysis

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • wearing swimming goggles or having laser suturelysisOther

    Two images will be compared in each subject at two different eye pressures with the higher pressure having been produced by the interventions

Study groups in NCT03267849
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
persons drinking waterExperimentalall persons in the study will have images of the eye at baseline eye pressure, then the intervention will be to drink 2 bottles of water to increase eye pressure or decrease eye pressure, then will have images taken a second time
Receives: Other: wearing swimming goggles or having laser suturelysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in anterior lamina cribrosa depth

    OCT position of lamina measured at 2 eye pressures. Data will be calculated as change in parameters of interest per mm Hg change in eye pressure

    Measured: Up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing wearing swimming goggles or having laser suturelysis in people with Glaucoma, Open-Angle, run by Johns Hopkins 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2024. 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?

Change in anterior lamina cribrosa depth (time frame: Up to 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03267849, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 15 Oct 2024.
