Registration Number
NCT04351100
Lead Sponsor
Chulalongkorn University
Brief Summary

Dry eyes is multi-factorial disease which inflammation play etiological role. Diacerein is drug which has anti-inflammatory effect by antagonist Interleukin-1, decrease Interleukin-1 receptor, increase Interleukin-1 Receptor antagonist. This observational study enrolled participants who going to take diacerein for osteoarthritis, measure corneal staining score, Ocular surface disease index score, Tear Osmolarity, Tear break up time, Schirmer 1 test, Interleukin-1 Receptor antagonist, Interleukin-1 alpha, Interleukin-1 beta level in tear at the time of enrollment and after 2 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Corneal staining score change from baseline at 2 monthsAt the time of enrollment and 2 months

Stain Cornea with Fluorescine, count and score staining at the cornea according to National eye institute : score 0-15 (0=no staining)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ocular surface disease index scoreAt the time of enrollment and 2 months

Ocular Surface Disease Index : 0-100 (0=no any symptom)

Tear OsmolarityAt the time of enrollment and 2 months

Use Tearlab to measure tear osmolarity

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, Interleukin-1 alpha, Interleukin-1 beta level in tearAt the time of enrollment and 2 months

Extract tear from Schirmer strip and use Bioplex for cytokine measurement of Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist(picogram/ml), Interleukin-1 alpha(picogram/ml), Interleukin-1 beta(picogram/ml)

Tear break up timeAt the time of enrollment and 2 months

Stain Cornea with Fluorescine, wait until tear film break, record time that tear break

Schirmer 1 testAt the time of enrollment and 2 months

place Schirmer strip at the fornix without anesthesia, wait for 5 min, record tear distance
