About this study

Official title: Effect of Intraocular Tamponade on Visual Function in the Human Eyes

Intraocular tamponade used in vitrectomy operations may affects retinal function in various mechanisms.

Read the detailed description

Various intraocular tamponade are being used in vitrectomy operations as gases, fluids and silicon oil. The effects of these intraocular tamponade may affects the final visual outcome of the surgery.

Being tested
Electroretinogram, Vitrectomy operation
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual acuity

    Changes in visual acuity measured in LogMAR units.

    Measured: Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up.

  2. Retinal function amplitude

    Changes in electroretinogram amplitude parameters in microvolt/second measured by roland consult retinal function device.

    Measured: Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up.

  3. Retinal function implicit time.

    Changes in electroretinogram implicit time in millisecond measured by roland consult retinal function device.

    Measured: Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intraocular pressure

    Changes in intraocular pressure measured by goldman applanation tonometry in millimeter mercury.

    Measured: Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Electroretinogram and Vitrectomy operation in people with Retinal Detachment and Optic Neuropathy, run by Benha University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ahmed A Tabl, MD (01222328766, ahmad4lg@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual acuity (time frame: Baseline and monthly after surgery till 6 months of follow up.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Sep 2022.
