Study summary

Several recent clinical trials have highlighted the potential role of Product in promoting eye health.product whose structural and functional characteristics make it a promising bioactive compound in the prevention of several human diseases as well as in the maintenance of a good health status. it might relieve eyestrain in people using computer monitors as suggested who conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial by enrolling visual display terminal workers and prescribed them product or placebo. Study outcomes were objectively evaluated by using a proper instrumentation to measure eye muscle endurance. Subjects receiving Product experienced a significant relief from eyestrain compared to the placebo group.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Computer Vision Syndrome-Questionnaire

    To assess the effect of 84 days of IP consumption on severity of the symptoms using Computer Vision Syndrome-Questionnaire.The two levels of intensity, or strength of the symptom, will be graded similarly, on a scale of 1 to 2 points, where moderate = 1 and intense = 2. In the analysis, a symptom rated as never occurring will be treated as 0 (none) on the intensity scale. The overall assessment will be conducted by obtaining the total score for DES. The result of frequency X intensity will be recorded as: 0 = 0; 1 or 2 = 1; 4 = 2. If the total score is ≥ 6 points, the participant will be considered to be suffering from digital eye strain. It is further categorized as mild DES (score = 6-12), moderate DES (score = 13-18), and severe DES (score = 19-32)

    Time frame: Screening before playing videogames on digital device

  2. Computer Vision Syndrome-Questionnaire
