Trial Outcomes & Findings for Toric Eye Strain and Stability Study (NCT NCT01857102)

NCT ID: NCT01857102

Last Updated: 2018-06-19

Results Overview

Electromyography (EMG) utilizes electrodes affixed to the skin below the eyelid, which measures activity of the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle. The orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle pulls on the skin of the forehead, temple and cheek and draws it toward a point at the edge of the orbit. This part of the muscle is mainly under voluntary control, and it what is contracted during the process of squinting. The palpebral portion of this muscle closes the eyelids. The EMG reading was performed while the subject was wearing contact lenses in order to objectively assess eyestrain.The higher the EMG reading indicated the more the eyestrain. The original EMG data collected from a 40-second recording consisted of approximately 40,000 observations; the machine read about 1000 observations per second consecutively during 40-second recording. The original EMG reading was converted to a single data point and entered in the EDC for the analysis purpose.

Participant Flow

A total of 159 subjects were enrolled in the study. Of the enrolled subjects 45 did not meet the eligibility criteria and 114 subjects were dispensed a study lens. Of the dispensed subjects 10 subjects were discontinued and 94 subjects completed the study.

Of those completed 24 were excluded from the analysis due to a major protocol deviation. Of the subjects that completed all study visits without a major protocol deviation, 10 subjects were classified as neophytes and 60 as habitual contact lens users.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1-week follow-up

Population: The analysis population consists of all subjects that completed all study visits without a major protocol deviation.

The Visual comfort (diurnal fluctuation\[DF\]) scores were derived from the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life (NEI-RQL) instruments- specifically the diurnal fluctuations sub-scale, by following the instruction given in the NEI-RQL-42 User Manual, Version 1.0. The NEI-RQL is a validated patient reported outcome questionnaire to assess the impact of refractive correction on vision specifically to quality of life. This survey consisted of 42 items used to develop 13 subscales: clarity of vision, expectations, near vision, far vision, diurnal fluctuations, activity limitations, glare, symptoms, dependence on correction, worry, suboptimal correction, appearance, and satisfaction with correction. An overall score is calculated by averaging the subscales. The overall scores can take on values of 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better outcomes
