What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Photodynamic therapy (PDT) | Not described | |
| Focal laser photocoagulation (focal) | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Multifocal Electroretinogram Amplitudes
Amplitude at first annular ring at multifocal electroretinogram RETIscan (Roland Consult, Wiesbaden, Germany) is used for multifocal retinogram.
The recording protocol was chosen according to the International Society for Clinical Electro-physiology of Vision (ISCEV) guidelines.
Measured: baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Best Corrected Visual Acuity
Best-corrected visual acuities were obtained with Snellen charts. Snellen's visual acuity was converted logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis.
Measured: baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.
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 3 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 12 Mar 2009. 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 South Korea. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Dec 2008). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Multifocal Electroretinogram Amplitudes (time frame: baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months). 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 12 Mar 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
