Active clinical trials for "Exotropia"

To determine the effectiveness of alternate occlusion therapy for the treatment of IXT among patients aged 3 to < 11 years old.

Non-surgical treatment (ie. patching or fusion exercises) of intermittent exotropia may help in increasing control of strabismus

V pattern strabismus is the commonest of alphabet pattern. Its identification is essential to plan a proper surgical management. Graded recession is a very logical approach to treat inferior oblique overaction (IOOA). The aim Is to evaluate the efficacy of graded recession of inferior oblique muscle for correction of different grades of V pattern.

The main objectives of this randomized trial comparing overminus lens treatment to non-overminus (spectacles without overminus or spectacles with plano lenses) are to determine: The long-term on-treatment effect of overminus treatment on distance intermittent exotropia (IXT) control score. The off-treatment effect of overminus treatment on distance IXT control score (following weaning and 3 months off treatment).

In childhood strabismus, exotropia is most frequently seen with intermittent exotropia and convergence failure in the first decade of life. This situation adversely affects children's psychosocial development and creates worries about personal relationships and work life in their future lives. Patients' hesitant attitudes towards surgical treatment led to the out-of-surgery techniques such as exercise therapy. No studies have been found in the literature on the efficancy of the intermittent exotropia treatments with oculo-motor exercises. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of oculo-motor exercises on intermittent exotropia in children.

Objetive: to assess the efficacy of the occipito-atlas-axis cervical manipulation technique to correct ocular divergence in subjects with exophoria. Design: quantitative, experimental, longitudinal and prospective study. Subjects: subjects over 18 years of age, with exophorias, without heterotropies and who do not present a contraindication to cervical manipulation. Methods:Subjects with this ocular mobility dysfunction are going to be evaluated objectively with the Alternate Cover Test. The ocular deviation will be measured at 40 cm and at 4 meters. The individuals who were part of the experimental group underwent the OAA manipulation technique, and to those who were part of the control group a placebo maneuver. Two measurements were taken from this moment, one immediately after the execution of the technique and another one week later.

The objective of this short-term, pilot randomized trial comparing spectacles with relieving prism to spectacles without prism is to determine whether to proceed to a full-scale, longer-term randomized trial. This decision will be based primarily on assessing the initial (8-week) response to prism by comparing treatment groups on the following outcomes: Mean distance intermittent exotropia (IXT) control score (the mean of 3 control scores) (primary outcome) The proportion of participants demonstrating a "treatment response," defined as ≥1 point improvement in the mean distance IXT control score without spontaneous exotropia during control testing (secondary outcome) The proportion of participants reporting adverse effects and good/excellent spectacle wear compliance

The objective of this short-term, pilot randomized trial comparing 2.50 diopters (D) overminus lens treatment vs. non-overminus (spectacles without overminus or no spectacles) in children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) 3 to <7 years of age is to determine whether to proceed to a full-scale, longer-term randomized trial.

The present study is being conducted to assess the natural history of intermittent exotropia and to establish the effectiveness of occlusion in its treatment. Study Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of occlusion for the treatment of intermittent exotropia among patients aged 3 to < 11 years who have baseline near stereoacuity of 400 arcsec or better by Preschool Randot stereotest To determine the natural history of intermittent exotropia among patients aged 3 to < 11 years who have baseline near stereoacuity of 400 arcsec or better by Preschool Randot stereotest

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession versus unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection procedures for the treatment of basic type and pseudo divergence excess type intermittent exotropia.
