About this study
To study the effectiveness and safety of IPL treatment for Chalazion
Read the detailed description
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IPL therapy for the treatment of chalazion. The effect of IPL on chalazion will be examined in a masked randomized controlled study. Subjects in the study arm will be treated with IPL, while subjects in the control arm will be treated with sham IPL. A significant difference in the outcomes of the two arms will provide support for a genuine contribution of the IPL treatment
- Conditions
- Chalazion
- Being tested
- Sham IPL, Active IPL
- Medical subject headings
- Chalazion
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Sham IPLDevice
Three sham IPL treatments in 1-week interval followed by 1 follow-up 4 weeks after the last treatment
Active IPLDevice
Three active IPL treatments in 1-week interval followed by 1 follow-up 4 weeks after the last treatment
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| study arm | Experimental | subjects in the study arm will receive active IPL treatment Receives: Device: Active IPL |
| Control arm | Sham comparator | subjects in the control arm will receive sham IPL treatment Receives: Device: Sham IPL |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The percentage of resolved chalazion 4 weeks after the last treatment in the study group and the control group
the proportion of subjects with reduction of at lease 80% in lesion size at the follow up visit
Measured: 4 weeks after the last treatment
Secondary outcomes (2)
Percentage change from baseline in lesion size in both groups
measuring the lesion size using a millimeter caliper
Measured: 4 weeks after the last treatment
Time to resolution which is defined as a reduction of at least 80% in lesion size in both groups
measuring the time that takes for a reduction of at least 80% in lesion size
Measured: 4 weeks after last treatment

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does the primary outcome measure?
The percentage of resolved chalazion 4 weeks after the last treatment in the study group and the control group (time frame: 4 weeks after the last treatment). 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.
