About this study

Official title: Dry Eye and Digital Asthenopia Signs and Symptoms in Gaming Adults. Impact of Tear Substitute Use.

Clinical, prospective, comparative, controlled, single-blind study, on the signs and symptoms of dry eye before and after 3 days of playing video games with the use of artificial tears (Hyabak) versus no intervention.

Read the detailed description

Adult attendees to a Gamers convention will complete questionnairs and undergo an opthalmological evaluation before and after playing for 3 days in a row. Participants will be randomized into 2 groups of equal size:

  1. Study group.
  2. Control group. The Study group will instill hyaluronic acid 0.15% artificial tears in both eyes 4 times a day during the 3 days of the video game session, while the control group will not instill artificial tears.
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED)

    Change in Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) score between study and control group (range 0-28, with higher scores indicative of dry eye disease symptoms)

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Conjunctival hyperemia measured with McMonnies Chapman scale

    Change in McMonnies Chapman score (range 0-5, with higher scores indicative of more conjunctival hyperemia) between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

  2. Tear Breakup Time (TBUT)

    Change in Tear Breakup Time (TBUT) score (normal values > or equal to 10 seconds) between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

  3. Conjunctival staining with lisamine green measured with Oxford scale

    Change in conjunctival oxford staining score (range 0-5 with higher scores indicative of more staining) between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

  4. Corneal staining with fluorescein measured with Oxford scale

    Change in corneal oxford staining score (range 0-5 with higher scores indicative of more staining) between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

  5. Schirmer I tear volume test

    Change in Schirmer score (normal values equal or higher than 10) between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

  6. Near convergence measured with a RAF binocular gauge

    Change in near convergence between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

  7. Accomodation distance measured with a RAF binocular gauge

    Change in accomodation distance between study and control group

    Measured: Between Day 1 and Day 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preservative free hyaluronic acid artificial tear in people with Evaporative Dry Eye, run by Laboratorios Thea, Spain at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) (time frame: Between Day 1 and Day 3). 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 Sep 2022.
