NCT ID NCT06662162
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a device that delivers tiny electrical pulses through the eyelid to the back of the eye. The goal is to see if it can safely slow vision loss or improve sight in people with intermediate to advanced dry age-related macular degeneration. One hundred participants will receive either the real device or a sham (inactive) device over 11 months, with follow-up for 3 more months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
i-Lumen AMD transpalpebral microcurrent stimulation device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to slow vision loss and possibly improve sight in people with dry age-related macular degeneration.
What could go wrong
This is an early device trial with only 100 participants. The treatment may not improve vision better than a sham device, and long-term benefits or risks are unknown.
