NCT ID NCT07186088

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether repeated low-intensity red light can treat myopia (nearsightedness) in adults aged 18 to 35. Thirty participants will use a red light device 1 to 3 times daily. Researchers will measure changes in eye length and prescription strength to see if the treatment is safe and effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
low-intensity red light
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to control or reduce myopia in adults, potentially reducing dependence on glasses or contacts.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (30 people) with no control group, so results may not be reliable. The long-term safety of repeated red light exposure is unknown.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jun 2026

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 18-35 years old, gender not limited; Obtained informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Obvious strabismus and amblyopia * With congenital eye disease, such as congenital cataract, congenital retinal disease * Secondary myopia (such as premature retinopathy or other eye diseases in infants and children caused secondary myopia), or myopia combined with systemic syndrome (such as Marfan syndrome) * Had internal eye surgery (such as cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation, anti-glaucoma surgery, etc.) * Refractive medium opacity (such as corneal disease, crystal opacity, etc.) * Bnormal intraocular pressure and clinical significance (IOP \<10 mmHg or IOP\>21mmHg or binocular IOP difference ≥5mmHg) * Fundus chorioretinopathy (except for high myopia fundus degenerative changes) or other intraocular diseases * Optic nerve damage or congenital optic nerve dysfunction * Can not be regularly checked * The adjustment range is less than 8D or obvious near difficulties * Other reasons researchers think it is not suitable for inclusion in researchers
