Efficacy of vision restoration therapy after optic neuritis (VISION study): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Optic neuritis is a frequent manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Visual deficits range from a minor impairment of visual functions through to complete loss of vision. Although many patients recover almost completely, roughly 35% of patients remain visually impaired for years, and therapeutic options for those patients hardly exist. Vision restoration therapy is a software-based visu...
متن کاملAlternating Current Stimulation for Vision Restoration after Optic Nerve Damage: A Randomized Clinical Trial
BACKGROUND Vision loss after optic neuropathy is considered irreversible. Here, repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) was applied in partially blind patients with the goal of activating their residual vision. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in an ambulatory setting with daily application of rtACS (n = 4...
متن کاملEfficacy of Biofeedback Therapy before and after Sphincteroplasty for Fecal Incontinence because of Obstetric Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Fecal incontinence is a challenging condition in that it exerts various psychosocial impacts on daily life. Different treatment modalities have been suggested for fecal incontinence. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback therapy in combination with surgery in the management of fecal incontinence.The present randomized controlled trial was performed on 27 women with a c...
متن کاملTreatment of optic neuritis with erythropoietin (TONE): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial-study protocol.
INTRODUCTION Optic neuritis leads to degeneration of retinal ganglion cells whose axons form the optic nerve. The standard treatment is a methylprednisolone pulse therapy. This treatment slightly shortens the time of recovery but does not prevent neurodegeneration and persistent visual impairment. In a phase II trial performed in preparation of this study, we have shown that erythropoietin prot...
متن کاملContrast vision and optic neuritis: neural blurring.
In order to understand the vision of patients with long standing optic neuritis, contrast perception was analysed in some detail for three patients with uniocular anomalies. Contrast detection and contrast matching experiments each demonstrate anomalies in contrast processing for eyes with optic neuritis. In this regard, optic neuritis differs from all other visual anomalies so far investigated...
