Multifocal Chromatic Pupilloperimetry in Patients With Pseudotumor Cerebri and Healthy Subjects.

Assessment of Pupillary Response and Visual Field Defects by Objective Multifocal Chromatic Pupillometer in Patients With Pseudotumor Cerebri and Healthy Subjects


Sponsor

Sheba Medical Center

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Nov 3, 2017

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

PTC(Pseudotumor cerebri) patients may develop increased Intracranial pressure (ICP) that can produces increased pressure around the distal optic nerve,which is likely followed by venule compression, ischemia, and loss of visual function.Vision loss in PTC is most commonly characterized by standard automated perimetry to measure peripheral visual field sensitivity. Pupillometry is a promising approach for functional assessment in PTC because it is noninvasive, objective, performed quickly with minimal patient cooperation needed. The feasibility of using chromatic multifocal pupillometry for assesment of PTC will be examined.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new type of eye exam — using coloured light and pupil responses — to detect vision problems in people with a condition called pseudotumor cerebri (increased pressure in the brain without an actual tumour), and comparing results to healthy individuals. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You are either a healthy volunteer with normal vision, or a patient with pseudotumor cerebri - You are willing to give written informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have significant eye disease unrelated to the study condition - You have poor vision that cannot be corrected - You have abnormal colour vision - You are unable to cooperate with eye testing Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
