Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Non-Invasive RF Treatment in Refractory MGD

Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Non-Invasive Radiofrequency Treatment in Patients With Refractory Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: A Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

The University of Hong Kong

Enrollment

112 participants

Start Date

Oct 22, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this prospective, 24-week, double-masked, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trials to compare clinical efficacy and safety of RF and MGX with MGX alone in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction-related dry eye disease. The main question it aims to answer is whether radiofrequency treatment and meibomian gland expression is more effective in improving tear breakup time, as measured using non-invasive video keratography, compared with meibomian gland expression alone, in patients with refractory meibomian gland dysfunction-related dry eye disease. Participants will be divided into two groups, one group will receive RF treatment followed with MGX and another will receive sham treatment with MGX.
