NCT ID NCT06955806
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called Rexon-Eye that uses gentle electrical pulses to treat dry eye disease. Thirty adults aged 18 to 40 will receive either real or sham treatment once a week for four weeks. Researchers will check if symptoms improve and analyze tear samples to understand how the therapy works at a molecular level.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Rexon-Eye device (QMR electrotherapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug, non-invasive option to relieve dry eye discomfort and improve tear film stability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham control group helps, but the effect may be modest or temporary.
