Active clinical trials for "Central Serous Chorioretinopathy"

Preclinical and clinical evidence support the protective effect of crocin on different pathologic pathways involved in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). They involve inflammation, oxidative stress, mineralocorticoid pathway, and also stress-related injuries. It also showed that crocin has a protective effect on the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) layer. Based on the mentioned evidence the study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2-month crocin supplementation (15 mg/d) in 40 patients with CSCR in a randomized controlled blinded clinical trial.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) has been known since it was first described by Von Graefe and termed "idiopathic detachment of the macula" in 1866, is a well-characterized disorder leading to serous neurosensory elevation of the central macula. The acute form of the disease is associated with focal leakage at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) demonstrated with fluorescein angiography (FA). The disorder is self-limited in the majority of patients, who also regain excellent vision. Occasionally, the neurosensory detachment persists and leads to pigment epithelial and photoreceptor damage with visual impairment. The purpose of this clinical study is report the use of intravitreal bevacizumab is a new option in the treatment of the chronic or recurrent CSC.

In this study, participants will be imaged using two Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices: device N, a standard conventional OCT device with an invention (comfortable chin and forehead rest that can be adjusted to fit each individual's size) attached to the device; and device C, the standard conventional OCT device with no invention attached. The investigators will assess whether the chin and forehead rest attachment (invention) provides a more comfortable experience for patients.

Blindness can be caused by many ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, age-related macular degeneration, pathologic myopia and glaucoma. Without timely diagnosis and adequate medical intervention, the visual impairment can become a great burden on individuals as well as the society. It is estimated that China has 110 million patients under the attack of diabetes, 180 million patients with hypertension, 120 million patients suffering from high myopia and 200 million people over 60 years old, which suggest a huge population at the risk of blindness. Despite of this crisis in public health, our society has no more than 3,000 ophthalmologists majoring in fundus oculi disease currently. As most of them assembling in metropolitan cities, health system in this field is frail in primary hospitals. Owing to this unreasonable distribution of medical resources, providing medical service to hundreds of millions of potential patients threatened with blindness is almost impossible. To solve this problem, this software (MCS) was developed as a computer-aided diagnosis to help junior ophthalmologists to detect 13 major retina diseases from color fundus photographs. This study has been designed to validate the safety and efficiency of this device.

The study aims to analyze the changes in OCTA parameters and in choroidal thickness in patients affected by central serous chorioretinopathy treated by oral eplerenone and half-fluence photodynamic therapy.

First, this study will investigate the viability of 24-hour eye patching as a potential treatment modality for CSR. Second, this study will assess a potential physiologic explanation for CSR, namely if inhibition of photic stimulation of the diseased retina will aid in ameliorating disease severity and disease duration.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows one to see blood vessels in the retina. The investigating team used this approach in patients with acute, recurrent and persistent subtypes of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) to check for possible Choriocapillaris hypoperfusion. The presence or absence of these microvascular changes was explored in both eyes of the patients and compared to a control group of healthy volunteers. The possibility of a correlation between Choriocapillaris flow deficits, age and spontaneous resolution of serous retinal detachment was also evaluated. This study was conducted in an effort to improve one's understanding of this disease and other pachychoroid disorders.

Pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy is not entirely understood yet, therefore further investigations are needed. During this study patients with an acute episode of central serous chorioretinopathy are observed with established ophthalmologic methods (multimodal imagine) every 6 weeks until subretinal fluid is reabsorbed to gain further insides in etiology, course and prognosis of this disease.

This study is a comparison of multifocal electroretinogram assessment between the laser treatment group and the photodynamic therapy group in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.
