Trial summary

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a procedure of choice for nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Endonasal procedures for DCR were described as early as 1893 by Caldwell. However, external DCR was practiced more commonly because of better visualization of anatomic features. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy: Prospective Study of the Evolution of the Stoma Size

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a procedure of choice for nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Endonasal procedures for DCR were described as early as 1893 by Caldwell. However, external DCR was practiced more commonly because of better visualization of anatomic features. The miniaturization of surgical instruments and close partnership between ophthalmologist and otorhinolaryngologist had led to a renewal of endonasal approach.

The main objective of the study is to show the evolution of stoma size after endonasal DCR and validate the direct measurement of mucous orifice. It will also allow determining if the stoma evolution size may be a predictive factor for operational effectiveness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of the stoma size

    Measurement of the stoma size by endonasal photography

    Measured: Month 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mucous orifices size

    Measurement of the osteotomy orifices size from photography

    Measured: Month 2

  2. Ratio of patients for whom the operation is a success

    A success corresponds to the complete disappearance of epiphora symptomatology, on the contrary, a failure equals to the persistence of tearing or a recurrence of dacryocystitis

    Measured: Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville.

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 13 Aug 2019. 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?

Evolution of the stoma size (time frame: Month 12). 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 13 Aug 2019.
