About this study

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was used to determine whether the repair of photoreceptor cone outer segment tips defect is significantly correlated with the visual outcomes after macular hole surgery.

Read the detailed description

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was used to calculate the mean length of photoreceptor cone outer segment tips (COST) defect on 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after macular hole surgery. The correlation between the mean length of COST defect and the BCVA was determined. Prognostic factors might have influenced for COST repair was also evaluated by multivariable analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitreous surgery for macular hole in people with Macular Holes, run by Kyorin University at 1 site in Japan.

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 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 2 Aug 2012. 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 Japan. 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?

Visual acuity (time frame: one year). 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 2 Aug 2012.
