Reducing Pain From Retinal Laser With Vibrational Stimulation

Alleviating Panretinal Photocoagulation Associated Ocular Pain With Vibratory Stimulation

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Oct 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Vibration Anesthesia Device works to reduce pain during retinal laser for diabetic retinopathy. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the Vibration Anesthesia Device reduces the pain felt by patients during the laser treatment? Researchers will compare the standard method (no vibration device) to the standard method with the Vibration Anesthesia Device to see if the device works to reduce discomfort during treatment. Eligible participants will have both eyes treated as required, one eye with the device and the other one without. Both the side that will be treated with the device in place and the first side to be treated will be decided by random sequence.
