Trial Outcomes & Findings for Electric Stimulation of the Eye to Improve Vision After Trauma (NCT NCT02019927)

NCT ID: NCT02019927

Last Updated: 2020-01-18

Results Overview

The primary outcomes are change in high-contrast LogMar VA from baseline (week 1) to initial post treatment (week 8). Participants read letters from a chart and receive 1 point for each letter correctly identified. Scores are converted to logMAR scale and analyzed for changes in visual acuity. Improvement in visual acuity is defined as a decrease in logMAR of 0.2 or more.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from Baseline (week 1) to 1-week post initial treatment (week 8)

The primary outcomes are change in high-contrast LogMar VA from baseline (week 1) to initial post treatment (week 8). Participants read letters from a chart and receive 1 point for each letter correctly identified. Scores are converted to logMAR scale and analyzed for changes in visual acuity. Improvement in visual acuity is defined as a decrease in logMAR of 0.2 or more.
