Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for certified medical advice, visits or professional assistance using a real physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus Clinical research trials and Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus. Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Screening for Studies on Nystagmus and Strabismus
For Condition: Nystagmus,Strabismus
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Eye Institute (NEI) ,
Synopsis: This screening protocol is designed to help recruitment patients for National Eye Institute (NEI) studies on nystagmus and strabismus. Patients must meet specific requirements of a research study, and this protocol serves as a first step for admitting patients to an appropriate program. Candidates will undergo a medical history, physical examination, eye examination and blood test. The eye examination includes measurement of eye pressure and dilation of the pupils to fully examine the lens, vitreous and retina. Specialized tests will be done only if needed to determine eligibility for a nystagmus or strabismus study. These include routine laboratory tests, non-invasive imaging, questionnaires, and other standard tests. If needed, a test called oculography may be done to record eye movements. There are two procedures for recording and documenting these movements. In the infrared system, the patient wears a pair of glasses or goggles and looks at a red light while the head is kept steady. In the search coil system, the eye is numbed with anesthetic eye drops and a soft contact lens is placed on the eye. Then the patient looks at a red light while the head is held still. Each oculography session lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Photographs of the eye may be taken. When the screening is completed, patients will be informed of their options to participate in a study. Patients who are ineligible for a current study will be informed of alternative treatments or options. No treatment is offered under this protocol.
Details: This protocol is designed for the screening of patients with either diagnosed or undiagnosed conditions, and serves as a first step for individuals who may be eligible and wish to participate in National Eye Institute (NEI) clinical research studies. Each individual will be thoroughly evaluated during the screening process to determine if they are suitable candidates for inclusion in any of the NEI ongoing studies. The screening evaluation will include past and current medical histories, and an appropriate physical examination. Other routine diagnostic procedures and tests may also be completed in order to help determine a subject's eligibility. These tests and procedures are of minimal risk. Once the screening process is completed and their eligibility assessed, the subjects will be informed of their options to participate in one or more of the current clinical research studies. If no appropriate protocol is identified, recommendations for other treatment options may be given to the individual, their primary doctor or referring physician.
