the Pops-titration Versus the Slow-coagulation Cyclophotocoagulation in Treatment of Refractory Glaucoma
NCT ID: NCT01774227 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 98 Completion: 2020-01
Conditions
Glaucoma, Intraocular Pressure
Interventions
The pops-titration group, The slow-coagulation group
Summary
- Transcleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) has long been used as refractory glaucoma management and is very easy to learn and easy to perform.
- Recent advances in laser technology; the role of TSCPC is being expanded because it has benefits of noninvasive glaucoma procedure.
- The titration (pops), the fixed high-energy, and the fixed-low energy (slow-coagulation) are three energy delivery techniques.
- The present study would report on the outcome (efficacy and safety) of the slow-coagulation versus the titration method in treatment of refractory glaucoma with dark iris.
- The results would provide reliable evidences to supplement clinical judgment when making a decision in favor of each treatment method for glaucoma patients.
