Clinical trials: Energy Density, open to volunteers
Cataract, Endothelial Cell Density
Trial Comparing miLOOP Device Assisted Phacoemulsification vs Standard Surgery for Dense Cataracts: Effects on Endothelial Cell Loss, Energy Use, and Vision Recovery
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if using the miLOOP device during cataract surgery confers additional protection against cornea (endothelial) cells loss by reducing the amount of ultrasound energy needed.
- Conditions
- Cataract, Endothelial Cell Density, Cumulative Dispersive Energy
- Trial name
- NCT07898007
- Testing
- The miLOOP utilizes a nickel-titanium (nitinol) loop to ensnare and exert centripetal cutting forces on the lens nucleus with decreasing loop diameter, Conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery

Sensory Testing, Umami Taste
Energy Reduction and Umami
People tend to regulate intake by the weight of food rather than its energy content, making energy dense foods, especially those combining salty, fatty, and umami tastes, more likely to promote passive overconsumption.
- Conditions
- Sensory Testing, Umami Taste, Energy Density, Food Intake Measurement
- Trial name
- Season (NCT07438028)
- Testing
- Regular energy density, no added umami, Regular energy density, with added umami, Lowered energy density, with added umami
- Where
- Netherlands
- Volunteers
- 30 people, healthy volunteers welcome
