About this study

Official title: Comparison of Outcomes Between Single-step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy and Off-flap Epipolis Laser in Situ Keratomileusis

To compare the quantitative and qualitative optical outcomes between single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) and off-flap epipolis laser in situ keratomileusis (Epi-LASIK) in moderate to high myopia.we included patients with moderate to high myopia who were randomized to have TransPRK in one eye and Epi-LASIK in the other eye. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examinations, including uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuities (CDVA), manifest refraction, intraocular pressure, anterior and posterior segment examination, corneal topography measured by Scheimpflug scanning-slit topographer (Pentacam, Oculus Optikgerate GmbH), contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic and mesopic conditions (CSV-1000E, Vector Vision Inc., Greenville, OH, USA) with correction by spectacles, ocular wavefront aberrometry (OPD-Scan II, Nidek Co. Ltd). At each follow-up, CS and aberration measures were repeated 3 times and the average value was analyzed. Optical parameters were repeated 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 22.0, SPSS, Chicago, Inc.). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normal distribution of variables. Student t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test was used based on the normality of data. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

What is being measured

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

  1. aberrations

    ocular high-order aberrations including spherical, coma and trefoil aberrations were measured by OPD-Scan II

    Measured: 2016.03.01-2018.06.05

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. contrast sensitivity

    contrast sensitivity and contrast sensitivity under glare condition measurements were performed by the CSV-1000E which could test four spatial frequencies: 3,6,12 and 18 cycles/degree (cpd) at 2.5m. The contrast sensitivity was measured under photopic (596.7cd/㎡) and scotopic (0.01cd/㎡) conditions and the contrast sensitivity under glare condition was taken under scotopic condition with glare

    Measured: 2016.03.01-2018.06.05

  2. haze

    Corneal haze grade was recorded according to Fantes's report: 0, no haze; 0.5, trace haze only could be seen by oblique illumination; 1,more visible haze not interfering with the visibility of iris details; 2, mild influence of iris details; 3, moderate influence of iris details; 4, marked haze obscuring the stroma of ablation area.

    Measured: 2016.03.01-2018.06.05

  3. postoperative pain

    Subjective pain scores were evaluated on the third day according to a predetermined scale ranging from 0 to 5 as follows: 0, no pain or discomfort; 1, photophobia and tears; 2, photophobia and tears with mild pain; 3, photophobia and tears with moderate pain that does not require oral medication; 4, photophobia and tears with severe pain that oral medication can relieve; 5, photophobia and tears with severe pain that oral medication cannot relieve.

    Measured: 2016.03.01-2018.06.05

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Refractive Surgery, run by Wenzhou Medical University.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 28 Sep 2021. 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?

aberrations (time frame: 2016.03.01-2018.06.05). 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 NCT05060094, 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 28 Sep 2021.
