13 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary objective is to collect images on the P200TxE device in diseased eyes.
This study assesses clinical outcomes following the use of the MvIGS spine navigation system for treatment of spinal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis of the lumbar spine in adults. There will be separate study arms for cases utilizing the three-dimensional (3D) MvIGS spine navigation system and cases that utilize conventional two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopy.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate ocular responses with different allergen provocation methods.
The purpose of the evaluation is to confirm operability and usability of the SL-D301 Slit Lamp and the DC-4 digital camera attachment by conducting a usability evaluation and subsequently submitting a questionnaire and hold an interview with the operator. Of special interest for the study is to confirm whether the illumination level of SL-D301 is enough to perform an eye exam since the maximum illumination level on the SL-D301 is lower than other existing Topcon digital ready slit lamps due to regulations that limit the maximum light intensity on the human eye. The SL-D301 will be compared against the predicate device SL-3G.
The goal of this prospective crossover simulation study is to evaluate the accuracy and usability of a 3D camera weight estimation system during simulated emergency care in adult simulated patients, when used by emergency physicians. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * to evaluate the accuracy of 3D camera weight estimation during simulated emergency care, when compared with standard methods * to evaluate the usability of 3D camera weight estimation during emergency care, when compared with standard methods * to evaluate the inter-user reliability of 3D camera weight estimates Volunteers for simulated patients will be required to have anthropometric measurements, a DXA scan, and 3D camera weight estimates. Physician volunteers will need to participate in simulated emergency scenarios during which weight-based therapy must be administered. There will be no interventions.
Individuals living in Upper Manhattan have limited access to eye care, high vision impairment rates, and poor ocular health outcomes. To improve eye care and vision health outcomes, the Eye Health Intervention Study in Upper Manhattan (EYES-UM) will conduct eye health screenings in accessible primary care health centers and senior centers and implement a behavioral intervention to improve adherence for those referred for in-office eye care. The proposed innovative, 2:1 cluster-randomized clinical trial, will recruit adults age 40 and older in Upper Manhattan with known rates of inadequate eye care. A total of 10 settings in Upper Manhattan, comprised of primary care offices, senior centers, and organizations, confirms access to 17,000 individuals living at or below the NYC.gov poverty measure. This study will conduct ocular tests (visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus images) during screenings. To ensure that all participants receive the basic level of service, all participants who fail the eye health screening will be seen the same day by a study optometrist and eyeglasses will be provided at no charge. Educational workshops and an Advisory Board will support recruitment. Intervention Arm participants will receive ongoing support with scheduling eye exams and transportation by trained Study Coordinators. All participants will be followed prospectively for 2 years. The study is guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) Framework. Conducting Focus Groups with health policy stakeholders ensures iterative input during the study to bridge and translate EYES-UM findings into a Vision Health Policy Roadmap for scalable implementation of vision care delivery models, focusing on adherence.
Background: Some people who have had COVID-19 experience changes in the eye. Sometimes these changes are subtle and may not affect vision. Researchers want to learn how many people experience these eye changes and where in the eye they occur to better understand the outcomes of COVID-19 and its treatments. Objective: To examine possible changes in the eye that might have occurred as a result of COVID-19. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and recovered. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests. Participants will have an eye exam. Their pupils will be dilated with eye drops. Eye pressure and movements will be measured. Participants will have optical coherence tomography. Pictures will be taken of the retina and the inside of the eyes. Participants may have fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography. They will be given a dye through an intravenous line. The dye will travel up to the blood vessels in their eyes. Pictures will be taken of the dye as it flows through the blood vessels. Participants may have electroretinography to test the retina. They will sit in the dark with their eyes patched for 30 minutes. Then they will watch flashing lights while wearing contact lenses that sense signals from the retina. Participants may have adaptive optics-assisted imaging. They will look at a specific location while images are taken of the retina. During the study, participants will have blood drawn through a needle in their arm. Fluid or tissue from the eye may be obtained if participants have a medically needed procedure. Participation will last for 12 months.
Repeatability and Reproducibility of OCTA Image Quality with the Heidelberg Engineering SPECTRALIS
The overall objective is to develop the hardware systems and software algorithms necessary to make accurate measurements of the whole eye with optical coherence tomography (OCT). The research procedure that each subject will undergo is imaging with the OCT system. Three populations will be included: 1. Normals to ensure the imaging range of the system, 2. Patients with previous LASIK who will be undergoing cataract surgery, and 3. Patients with a history of cataract surgery or high myopia. The third group will also undergo MRI imaging for comparison. There are no known risks to the subject from imaging with optical coherence tomography beyond what is normal for standard ocular photographic procedures. Light exposure is below ANSI limits. In groups 2 and 3, clinical parameters drawn from the OCT images will be compared to standard of care imaging.
To evaluate the image qualities and segmentation performance of Topcon's DRI OCT Triton devices using two light sources.
Optic Nerve Ultrasound (ONUS) is a promising non-invasive tool for the detection of raised Intracranial Pressure (ICP). Variability in the optimal Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) threshold corresponding to elevated ICP in multiple studies limits the value of ONUS in clinical practice. The investigators goal is to develop and validate an automated image analysis algorithm for standardization of ONSD measurement from ultrasound videos. Patients with acute brain injury requiring invasive ICP monitoring will undergo bedside ONUS, with blinded ONSD measurement by an expert investigator. The image analysis algorithm will then be used to measure ONSD and accuracy determined compared to the "reference standard" expert measurement.
This multi-center randomized trial (MCRT) will investigate the effectiveness of the VestAid application to provide equivalent or faster recovery from dizziness compared to standard-of-care delivery of vestibular rehabilitation exercises.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT )provides high resolution information regarding the anatomic structure of the tissues of the eye in a cross-sectional and 3 dimensional view. Much of this information is not able to be visualized by a clinician. Utilizing this information during surgery will allow for the ophthalmic surgeons to better understand how surgical procedures impact the anatomic structure of the eye. In this study an OCT device that has been built into the microscope (rather than mounted on the side or held in the surgeon's hand) and will be utilized to take images at various milestones during surgery to assess feasibility and potential utility of this technology. Since it is built into the microscope, there are potential significant advantages over a separate system including increased efficiency, improved working distance, and the ability to visualize tissue-instrument interactions.
