Active clinical trials for "Meibomian Gland Dysfunction"

The DRy eye Outcome and Prescription Study (DROPS) is a large observational multicentre study exploring the 'real world' effectiveness of artificial tears in dry eye disease and determinants of efficacy. The aim is to include at least 635 symptomatic dry eye patients who are prescribed artificial tears. All trainees and fellows in London are invited to become collaborators: collaborators are asked to consent patients, assess signs at baseline, and give patients questionnaires at baseline and 4 weeks (for home completion). In tandem, we are conducting a qualitative review of ophthalmologists' prescribing behaviours for dry eye disease.

In this study, there were differences in patients' demands for ephedrine during meibomian gland massage and whether it would affect patients' poor comfort. Therefore, we needed to collect patients' pain grades during meibomian gland massage

The aim of this study is to compare the degree of tear film instability and severity of meibomian gland loss between subjects who use eyeliner, mascara, a combination of both and those who do not use eyeliner.

This project aims to evaluate the possible relationship between MGD and HRT in perimenopausal women

The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between the thickness of lipid layer and the meibomian gland dysfunction.

To understand the association between facial demodicosis and ocular demodicosis, we plan to enroll patients with facial demodicosis, ocular demodicosis, or both, in order to analyze their clinical presentations, the density of Demodex infestation over facial skin and eyelashes, and possible risk factors of the two diagnoses.
