Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Low-lever red light therapy (LLLT) has been used to control myopia progression in China for a few years besides amblyopia therapy for a few decades. This study is to test the efficacy of PBM therapy to myopia children as well as to compare two types of PBM therapy to control myopia progression within one month.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

LLLT utilized the 650-nm red light to provide sufficient energy to stimulate the tissue without causing damage to the surrounding tissues. And several researchers reported the long-term efficacy of LLLT in slowing the progression of myopia to date. These studies were reported various illumination and irradiance. This study is to test the efficacy of LLLT comparing to the control group as well as to test whether two types of lighting design will be different to the efficacy and safety.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Low lever red light therapy with Model : Sky-n1201c at the wavelength of 650nm; 3 minutes illumination for both eyes, administered twice daily at the interview of 4 hours.

Children in the red light therapy group wore single vision spectacles the entire day and under red light therapy (power, 0.6mW; wavelength, 650nm; Beijing Airdoc MPC Co. Ltd, Beijing, China) twice per day for 3 minutes each session, with at least a 4-hour interval between sessions. There were no specific guidelines for room illumination. After the first measurement session, each child returned for follow-up examinations at 1, 3, and 6 months and completed all the aforementioned examinations.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PBM therapy 1

PBM therapy was performed with a low-intensity laser (Airdoc, MPC Co.,Ltd., Beijing, China) with an irradiance of 0.6±0.2 mW, a wavelength of 650 nm±10 nm, and illumination of approximately 400 lux on average. The lighting spot for therapy is a dot. Only one eye will be treated with PBM therapy.
