About this study

Official title: Single Session of Pattern Scanning Laser Versus Multiple Sessions of Conventional Laser for Panretinal Photocoagulation in Diabetic Retinopathy: Efficacy, Safety and Painfulness

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficiency, safety and painfulness of retinal laser photocoagulation employing a pattern scanning laser system Pascal given in a single-session versus conventional laser multiple-session treatment of the same patient with diabetic retinopathy.

Methods: The cohort included 60 eyes in 30 patients treated at the Ophthalmology Clinic, Faculty Hospital Ostrava, from 2008 to 2013. Panretinal laser coagulation was performed on one eye using the multispot panretinal photocoagulation given in a single-session system Pascal (SSP) (OptiMedica, Santa Clara, California). On the other eye laser treatment was carried out by the classic conventional multiple-session method (MSM).

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical efficiency - progression of diabetic retinopathy, scored by calculating of microaneurisms and intraretinal hemorrhages

    progression of diabetic retinopathy after pattern PASCAL laser versus conventional laser. Each item is scored by calculating of microaneurisms and intraretinal hemorrhages

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Pain assessed by NRS

    painfulness of pattern PASCAL laser versus conventional laser Each item is scored 0-10 (0 - no pain, 10 - pain as bad as can be)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Satisfaction assessed by the VAS

    subjective satisfaction of the patient on dog 0 to 4 0 - not satisfied, 4 - very satisfied after pattern PASCAL laser versus conventional laser

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lasercoagulation by Pascal system and conventional laser in people with Diabetic Retinopathy, run by University Hospital Ostrava.

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 14 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Clinical efficiency - progression of diabetic retinopathy, scored by calculating of microaneurisms and intraretinal hemorrhages (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03672656, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Sep 2018.
