Researchers are testing whether continuous glucose monitoring, alone or combined with a family behavioral program, helps children under 8 with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range. The trial compares these approaches to standard home blood glucose monitoring.…

Researchers test whether continuous glucose monitors (CGM) can help hospitalized adults with type 2 diabetes reach a tighter average blood sugar target of 90 to 130 mg/dL without causing dangerous low blood sugar. Participants are randomly assigned to standard care (target 140 to…

This trial tests a smart insulin pump algorithm designed to automatically adjust insulin delivery during the night to keep blood sugar levels in a safe range. The algorithm predicts when blood sugar might drop too low and pauses insulin, and when it might rise too high, it gives …

This study looked at whether wearing an eye patch full-time can improve control of intermittent exotropia (a type of eye misalignment) in children aged 3 to 9. Over 3 months, researchers compared patching to simply watching and waiting. The goal was to see if patching leads to be…

This study tests whether daily low-dose atropine eyedrops (0.01%) can slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 5 to 12. Participants receive either atropine or placebo drops for two years, followed by six months off treatment to see if any benefit lasts. …

This study tests whether progressive addition lenses (PALs), like bifocals without a visible line, can slow the progression of low myopia (nearsightedness) in children who have certain focusing traits. About 118 children with low myopia and specific vision characteristics were ra…

This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — a small sensor that tracks blood sugar levels in real time — helps teens and young adults (ages 14 to under 25) with type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar control compared to standard fingerstick testing. Par…

This trial compares two common surgical procedures for intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye occasionally turns outward. Children aged 3 to 10 with basic or pseudo-divergence excess type exotropia are randomly assigned to receive either bilateral lateral rectus recess…

This trial tests whether playing a binocular 'Dig Rush' game on an iPad for one hour a day, five days a week, can improve vision in children aged 4 to 13 with amblyopia (lazy eye). Participants wear glasses and are randomly assigned to either play the game or receive glasses alon…

This trial compares overminus spectacles (glasses with extra focusing power) to standard glasses in children aged 3 to 11 with intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye occasionally drifts outward. The goal is to see if overminus lenses improve eye control over 12 months …

This study follows 103 adults with a genetic eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa caused by EYS mutations. Researchers will track changes in vision and eye structure over 4 years. The goal is to better understand how the disease progresses so that future clinical trials can …
