About this study

Official title: Comparison Between The Results Of Operating Two Muscles And Operating Three Muscles For The Treatment Of Large Angle Exotropia

Comparison Between The Results Of Two Muscles Surgery And Three Muscles Surgery For The Treatment Of Large Angle Exotropia

Read the detailed description

Exotropia is classified as Primary which includes constant and intermittent exotropias. Secondary XT include Sensory and consecutive XT. Management for IXT consists of non-surgical and surgical treatment. There is some controversy regarding the optimal surgical method varying between bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR), unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection (RR) and bilateral medial rectus resection (BMR).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • surgeryProcedure or surgery

    69 Patients with exotropia of (40-55) PD who are ≥ 5 years old. The 1st group 30 patients had two muscles surgery; bilateral lateral rectus recession.

    The 2nd group 39 patients had three muscles surgery; bilateral lateral rectus recession and unilateral medial rectus tucking.

What is being measured

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

  1. alignment in the primary position

    measuring any misalignment by prism bar

    Measured: 1 week to 6 months

  2. palpebral fissure height

    measuring with millimeter

    Measured: 1 week to 6 months

  3. End gaze deficit

    measuring with prism bar

    Measured: 1 week to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgery in people with Exotropia, run by Cairo 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 8 Dec 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?

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?

alignment in the primary position (time frame: 1 week to 6 months). 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 8 Dec 2022.
