Brief Summary

The Study on efficacy of add on selenium in mild-to-moderate Graves ophthalmopathy: A Randomized Control Trial.; The study aims to evaluate the response of adding selenium in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy, focusing on improving quality of life, CAS scoring, and thyroid status. The methodology involves a Randomized Control Trial with a sample size of 78 patients. Patients meeting specific criteria will receive either standard treatment with Anti Thyroid Drugs and Vitamin B complex or add on selenium with Vitamin B complex for 6 months. Outcome measures include CAS score reduction, thyroid function improvement, and quality of life enhancement. The study will last 18 months, with various investigations and ethical considerations outlined. The document emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of Graves Ophthalmopathy to prevent vision loss and deformity, highlighting the significance of informed patients and healthcare professionals regarding TED symptoms and risk factors.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate and compare the response of add on selenium in patients with grave's ophthalmopathy90 Days

To evaluate and compare the response of add on selenium in patients with grave's ophthalmopathy, with Best corrected visual Acuity, Clinical activity Score (CAS ), Increase in measured proptosis (bulging of the eyes) \> 2 mm over 1-3 months. Decrease in eye movement limit of \> 8° over 1-3 months. Decrease in visual acuity (2 Snellen chart lines) over 1-3 months. A CAS score greater than 4 is associated with active disease. The positive predictive value of CAS \> 4 is approximately 80%, and the negative predictive value is around 64%

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the effects of Grave's ophthalmopathy on Patient's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns90 Days

To study the effects of Grave's ophthalmopathy on Patient's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns, through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version- Brief(WHOQOL-BRIEF) questionnaire.

The 4 domain scores are each converted into a scale from 0 to 100. For this purpose, the number 4 is subtracted from each of the domain scores, and the difference is multiplied by 100/16 or the number 6.25. 0 points represent the worst possible state of health, while 100 points represent the best possible state of health with regard to the respective domain. Thus, the patient's physical, psychological, social, and environmental state of health are assessed separately.

To Assess the Colour Vison90 Days

Anomaloscopes are optical instruments in which the observer must manipulate stimulus control knobs to match two colored fields in color and brightness.

Measurement Unit: Typically, color vision is assessed qualitatively (normal or deficient).

Minimum Value: Normal color vision (able to perceive a wide range of colors). Maximum Value: Color vision deficiency (varies based on the type of deficiency).

To Assess the Fundus90 Days

Fundus Examination:

Measurement Unit: No specific unit; it's a visual assessment. Minimum Value: Normal fundus appearance (no abnormalities). Maximum Value: Various abnormalities (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy).

To Examine Thyroid Function Test90 Days

Thyroid Function Test:

TSH: Normal range is approximately 0.4 to 4.0 μIU/mL. T4: Normal range is around 4.5 to 11.2 μg/dL. T3: Normal range varies but is generally 80 to 200 ng/dL
