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 evaluate the acute and chronic effects of smokeless tobacco (ST) on the anterior segment parameters using optical biometry. Observational, comparative, cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Ophthalmology, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University.

The study included 53 right eyes of 53 subjects (study group), who used ST and 54 right eyes of 54 healthy subjects without ST (control group). Following a full ophthalmological examination, baseline measurements were taken with optical biometry and these measurements were repeated at 5, 30 and 60 mins after using ST.

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

26 years to 49 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Study Population

All the study subjects underwent a full ophthalmological examination.The anterior segment parameter measurements were taken with optical biometry.

Each subject was questioned in respect of how many years and how many times a day they used ST. Before taking the optical biometry measurements, the subjects were questioned as to whether they had used ST, drunk anything containing caffeine or smoked cigarettes in the previous 12 hours, and those who had were excluded from the study.

Each subject was given 1mg ST and the optical biometry measurements were repeated after 5, 30 and 60 mins. A single measurement was performed with optical biometry in the control group. To avoid diurnal variations, the measurements were taken in the morning between 09.00 and 12.00 hours.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A subject who use ST
  • A subject who was not using ST

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refractive disorder
  • Systemic chronic disease (diabetes, hypertension, neurological, etc.)
  • Ocular trauma
  • Ocular surgery
  • Glaucoma
  • Optic disc abnormalities
  • Congenital anomaly

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.

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.
March 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.
