NCT ID NCT05758753
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well a new test called quantitative sensory testing (QST) can measure nerve function in the eye. Researchers will use heat, cold, and vibration to see how people with dry eye disease or corneal nerve damage respond. The goal is to better understand eye pain and nerve health, not to provide a treatment. About 108 adults will take part.
