Efficacy And Safety of Pneumatic Trabeculoplasty
Phase 4
Completed
- Conditions
- Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
- Registration Number
- NCT01540331
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Catanzaro
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate prospectively the PNT safety and efficacy in term of IOP reduction in a group of previously or newly diagnosed glaucomatous subjects.
- Detailed Description
A group of subjects affected by Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) underwent 3 PNT treatments to evaluate one-year efficacy in term of IOP reduction and one-year safety in term of incidence of adverse events
