NCT05262361
Our successful R01 discovered 1) the neural mechanistic difference between typically occurring convergence insufficiency (TYP-CI) and binocularly normal controls and 2) the underlying mechanism of office-based vergence and accommodative therapy (OBVAT) that is effective in remediating symptoms. Adolescent and young adult concussion is considered a substantial health problem in the United States where our team has shown that about half of patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms have convergence insufficiency (PPCS-CI), causing significant negative impact associated with reading or digital screen-related activities, and is believed to be one factor causing delayed recovery impacting return to school, sports, or work. The results of this randomized clinical trial will impact the lives of adolescents and young adults with PPCS-CI to guide professionals on how to manage and treat those with PPCS-CI by 1) comparing the differences between PPCS-CI and TYP-CI, 2) discovering the neural mechanism of OBVAT for PPCS-CI compared to standard-community concussion care, and 3) determining the effectiveness of 12 one-hour sessions compared to 16 one-hour sessions of OBVAT.
NCT06913829
Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a prevalent binocular vision disorder that leads to symptoms such as eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision during near work. This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of pencil pushup exercises versus base-out exercising prisms in the management of CI. A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) will be conducted with 28 participants, using non-probability convenience sampling from SIGHTON Optix, Lahore. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group (receiving base-out exercising prisms) or the control group (receiving pencil push up exercises). The study will assess symptom improvement using the Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS), near point of convergence (NPC).
NCT05877560
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation in treating adults with symptomatic convergence insufficiency compared to vergence/accommodative therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can non-invasive brain stimulation shorten the treatment time of office-based vergence/accommodative therapy for convergence insufficiency? 2. Is non-invasive brain stimulation alone just as effective as office-based vergence/accommodative therapy in treating convergence insufficiency? The investigators hypothesize that non-invasive brain stimulation will shorten the treatment time from 12 weeks to 8 weeks of office-based vergence/accommodative therapy and that non-invasive brain stimulation alone would be equally effective as office-based vergence/accommodative therapy in improving symptomatic convergence insufficiency. Participants will be randomized into one of three treatment groups: 1. Non-invasive brain stimulation with office-based vergence/accommodative therapy. 2. Sham stimulation with office-based vergence/accommodative therapy. 3. Non-invasive brain stimulation only. Researchers will compare baseline measurements of near point of convergence (NPC) and positive fusional vergence (PFV) to post-treatment measurements for each group.
NCT05070767
To understand the benefits of the neurolens Measurement Device and neurolens treatment as it pertains to treating symptoms related to Chronic Headaches. It is a Prospective randomized double masked two arm performed on a minimum of 200 to a maximum of 300 subjects identified as symptomatic (HIT-6 questionnaire score equal to or greater than 56) done across 3-15 clinical sites. There are two subgroups: a minimum of 100 in each subgroup (subgroup 1: pre-presbyopic (18-40 years); subgroup 2: presbyopic subjects (41-60 years).
NCT05948046
This trial is an observational cohort study. Patients aged 8-15 years with symptomatic convergence insufficiency and 150 patients with symptomatic convergence insufficiency who had not received visual training were selected from the Tianjin Eye Hospital Optometry Center and received 1 course of visual training treatment. Self-assessment and other assessments were combined, and the patient and guardian questionnaires were collected. The EQ-5D-Y and CHU9D scales were used to evaluate Chinese patients' health-related quality of life with symptomatic convergence insufficiency. The feasibility of the EQ-5D-Y and CHU9D scales in assessing the health-related quality of life of Chinese patients with symptomatic convergence insufficiency was analyzed. To assess the effectiveness of visual training on visual symptoms and improvement of quality of life in patients with symptomatic convergence insufficiency
NCT03319966
The purpose of this single center, longitudinal, pilot study is to provide evidence for the use of an eye tracking system as an objective tool to identify mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) related oculomotor dysfunction (OMD) and predict the effectiveness of neurovision rehabilitation (NVR) of OMD. Eye tracking visual stimulus measurements will be compared to objective developmental optometrist (OD) diagnosis and assessments. It will be determined whether an eye tracking system can predict the presence or absence of mTBI related OMD and whether mTBI patients who have OMD based on the eye tracking system will respond positively to NVR.
NCT02207517
CITT-ART is a multicenter study (8 locations around the United States) of 324 children ages 9 to \<14 years with symptomatic convergence insufficiency (CI). The purpose of this study is to see if office-based therapy for convergence insufficiency (CI) improves reading ability and attention. CI is an eye-teaming problem where the eyes would like to drift outward when reading or doing close work. When eyes drift out, double vision can happen. To prevent double vision one must use extra effort to keep the eyes from going out. This extra effort can cause symptoms that can interfere with reading and working comfortably at near. These symptoms often include eyestrain, blurred vision, headaches, double vision, and loss of place when reading or performing tasks at near. In a prior study we found that therapy improves these symptoms. In this study we are looking at whether the therapy improves reading and attention
NCT01515943
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of home-based computer therapy for symptomatic convergence insufficiency (CI) compared to traditional home-based near target push-ups and placebo treatment.
