Active clinical trials for "Trochlear Nerve Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to identify genes associated with impaired development and function of the cranial nerves and brainstem, which may result in misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) and related conditions.

The purpose of the study is to testify the efficacy of treating trochlear nerve palsy with ocular electroacupuncture or ocular acupuncture, and to compare the efficacy between these two interventions.

Pre-Study: Evaluation of the inter- and intrarater reliability of the integrated algorithm by Heidelberg Spectralis for measuring cyclotorsion on SLO-fundus fotographs, and assessment of the influence of measuring with or without eye tracker. Study: Comparison of cyclotorsion measurements in patients with forth nerve palsy and in healthy controls on SLO-fundus fotographs using the integrated algorithm by Heidelberg Spectralis

This retrospective observational study is designed to assess the response to treatment with ocular acupuncture and its relative factors, in terms of diplopia status, ocular motility differences, and clinical features, in ocular motor nerve palsy patients. During this study, a retrospective data collection will be carried out using the information contained in the medical record of aimed patients, provided that the treatment with ocular acupuncture.

Patients suffering from congenital fourth cranial nerve palsy may have misalignment of jaws as well as teeth due to head tilt in childhood.
