Trial summary

Strabismus (or squint) is defined as the presence of misalignment between the visual axes of the 2 eyes presenting with deviation of the eyes. Strabismus is further subdivided into comitant (if the amount of misalignment between the 2 eyes remained equal in all directions of gaze) and incomitant (if the amount of… Read more about this study

About this study

Strabismus (or squint) is defined as the presence of misalignment between the visual axes of the 2 eyes presenting with deviation of the eyes. Strabismus is further subdivided into comitant (if the amount of misalignment between the 2 eyes remained equal in all directions of gaze) and incomitant (if the amount of misalignment varied in different directions of gaze). If the squinting eye was deviated inward, it is termed as a convergent squint or esotropia and if the squinting eye is deviated outward, it is termed as a divergent squint or exotropia. Pediatric esotropia may be congenital or acquired. Congenital esotropia is a well-defined entity with an onset prior to 6 months of age, characterised by a large stable angle, cross fixation, and a limited potential for binocular single vision. Acquired childhood esotropia may be paralytic or non-paralytic. The non-paralytic or concomitant type, which is neither congenital nor secondary to ocular pathology, can be divided into three main groups: (1) Accommodative esotropia, which may be fully accommodative, partially accommodative, or accommodative with convergence excess; (2) Non-accommodative esotropia; (3) Esotropia associated with neurological dysfunction, in particular cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus. The last group of esotropia will be excluded from our study. Pediatric strabismus must be treated early to maximize the potential for binocular vision and decrease the risk of amblyopia. Treatment goals include good vision in each eye (no amblyopia) and straight eyes (orthotropia). Both conditions are necessary to produce stereopsis, which is a third goal. Strabismus in children may result in undesirable appearance, amblyopia, impaired stereopsis, diplopia, and negative psychological effect.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
congenital esotropiaActive comparatorwill be defined as that type of esotropia with an onset prior to 6 months of age \& characterized by a large stable angle
Receives: Procedure: bilateral medial rectus recession
accommodative esotropiaActive comparatorFully accommodative esotropia will be defined as an esotropia which is controlled for distance and near with full hypermetropic correction. Partially accommodative esotropia will be defined as a reduction in the angle of esotropia of 10 dioptres or more for distance or near, using the full hypermetropic correctionAccommodative esotropia with convergence excess occurs when the near angle exceeded the distance angle by 15 dioptres or more when fixating an accommodative target, using the full hypermetropic correction.
Receives: Procedure: bilateral medial rectus recession
non-accommodative esotropiaActive comparatorneither congenital nor accommodative esotropia

    Measured: 6months

  3. consecuative exotropia

    exotropia > 10PD overcorrection

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bilateral medial rectus recession in people with Infantile Esotropia, run by Sohag 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 3 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 24 Jan 2024. 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?

orthotropia (time frame: 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06221098, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 24 Jan 2024.
