Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

To compare the parameters such as fundus examination, macular thickness, visual acuity and lens opacities among female patients diagnosed with menopause between the ages of 40-65.The criteria for exclusion from the study are the presence of a history of illness, drug use, smoking and alcohol use.Inclusion criteria were female patients who were in menopause and who did not use any medications. For surgical menopause, the uterus and ovaries were surgically removed at least 3 months ago.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

45 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Natural menopause(Control group)
Female patients between 45-60 years of age diagnosed with menopause without any intervention
Diagnostic test: measurement of macular thickness, corneal thickness and lens opacities
The incidence of macular thickness, Corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and lens opacities will be investigated by an ophthalmologist.
Surgical Menopause (Case group)
Female patients aged 45-60 years included in the study 3 months after bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy
Diagnostic test: measurement of macular thickness, corneal thickness and lens opacities
The incidence of macular thickness, Corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and lens opacities will be investigated by an ophthalmologist.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Macular thickness measurement
Time Frame: 3 months after menopause
Macular thickness(micron) in both eyes will be measured by optical coherence tomography,
3 months after menopause
Detecting lens opacities
Time Frame: 3 months after menopause
Lens opacities (Grade 1,2,3,4) will be measured by indirect biomicroscopy,
3 months after menopause
Intraocular pressure measurement
Time Frame: 3 months after menopause
Intraocular pressures( mm Hg) will be measured and recorded with the applanation tonometry device.
3 months after menopause
Comparison of all detected data
Time Frame: 3 months after menopause
All numerical data will be analyzed and compared with relevant statistical tests and the p value will be accepted as less than 0.05 to be considered a statistically significant difference.
3 months after menopause

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 1, 2020

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
