Tiny study on eye pressure fluctuation in glaucoma patients ends early
NCT ID NCT02658071
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to measure how eye volume changes (a sign of pressure fluctuation) before and after cataract surgery in patients with exfoliative glaucoma, a type of glaucoma common in Brittany. Only 6 adults were enrolled before the study was terminated. The goal was to see if cataract surgery reduces nighttime pressure swings, but the small size and early stop mean no firm conclusions can be drawn.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand how cataract surgery affects eye pressure in exfoliative glaucoma patients, potentially guiding future treatment.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early with only 6 participants, so results are very limited and may not apply to others. No treatment was tested.
