Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of different machines in intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Subjects diagnosed with MGD underwent three sessions of IPL treatment in a control (M22) treatment group or experimental (OPL-I) treatment group and were followed up three to four weeks after each session. Tear breakup time (TBUT), meibomian gland secretion scores (MGSS), meibomian gland meibum scores (MGMS), corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) scores, and the Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) was used to assess eye dryness signs and symptoms at baseline and follow-up visits.

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

The trial aimed to assess therapeutic effectiveness of the study treatment arm (OPL-I with the dual filter system; Miracle Laser systems, Wuhan, China) to the control treatment arm (M22 with a single filter; Lumenis, Yokneam, Israel). Each MGD patient underwent three treatment sessions at three-week intervals and three follow-up examinations over the course of treatment.

2. Facial IPL treatment within the prior 12 months
3. Any surgery of the eye or eyelids within the prior six months
4. Ocular surface and eyelid abnormalities
5. Any systemic condition that might cause eye dryness
6. Use of photosensitive drugs within the prior three months
7. Precancerous lesions
8. Skin cancer or pigmented lesions in the treatment area
9. Overexposure to the sun within the previous month
