About this study

Lowering intraocular pressure remains the mainstay of therapy in the management of glaucoma. The effect of ocular massage on intraocular pressure in patients with acute primary angle closure was the important thing.This was a prospective study, in which 20 eyes from 20 patients had acute angle closure. When they went to the hospital, ocular massage was performed without any medication. Intraocular pressure was detected by Goldmann tonometer, and Lenstar LS900 optical biometry observed changes of anterior chamber depth before and after ocular massage. Anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle and ciliary body were observed by Ultrasound biomicroscopy after massage, and anterior chamber angle was also checked by gonioscope after massage.

Read the detailed description

Background: Primary angle closure glaucoma is still the most common type in Asia. Lowering intraocular pressure remains the mainstay of therapy in the management of glaucoma, since it has been shown to be effective in reducing optic nerve damage and loss of vision. The objective of this study was to evaluate to assess the effect of ocular massage on intraocular pressure in patients with acute primary angle closure.

Methods : This was a prospective study, in which 20 eyes from 20 patients had acute angle closure. When they went to the hospital, ocular massage was performed without any medication. Intraocular pressure was detected by Goldmann tonometer, and Lenstar LS900 optical biometry (Lenstar LS900) observed changes of anterior chamber depth before and after ocular massage. Anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle and ciliary body were observed by Ultrasound biomicroscopy (after massage, and anterior chamber angle was also checked by gonioscope after massage.

  • ocular massageOther

    ocular massage could be applied over the globe over the closed eyelids with moderate massage strength for 15 minutes. The compression of the globe was given with finger, and press for 2 seconds, then by a 2 seconds release, with a frequency of 15 presses/minute.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ocular massage, LenstarLS900 and Goldmann tonometer in people with Intraocular Pressure, run by Lv Yingjuan at 1 site in China.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

observed changes of anterior chamber depth before and after ocular massage (time frame: before ocular massage and 15 minutes after massage). 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 3 Sep 2015.
