Clinical Trial: Effects of short-term training using a handheld eye movement training device on smooth pursuit eye movements in healthy adults (Japan)

Tokyo, Oct. 16 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000063294) titled 'A study of the effects of short-term training using a handheld eye movement training device on the ability to follow moving objects with the eyes' on Oct. 15.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Uncontrolled

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Kitasato University

Condition: Condition - No specific disease(healthy adults) Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of short-term repeated training using a newly developed handheld eye movement training device on horizontal and vertical smooth pursuit eye movements in healthy adults. The study will also evaluate the test-retest reliability and measurement error of eye movement measurements obtained using an eye movement tracking device, as well as the safety and feasibility of the training. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Short-term eye movement training will be performed using a newly developed handheld eye movement training device. Participants will follow a moving target presented 40 cm in front of their eyes while seated, with both eyes open and with minimal head movement. The target will be moved horizontally and vertically at a speed of 50 degrees per second.Each training block will consist of three sets of 16 seconds of horizontal tracking (eight cycles), a 15-second rest, 16 seconds of vertical tracking (eight cycles), and another 15-second rest, lasting approximately 3 minutes and 6 seconds per block. Participants will complete three training blocks at the second visit and three additional blocks at the third visit, 3 days later, for a total of six blocks. A 5-minute rest will be provided between blocks.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - 1. Healthy adults aged 18 to 30 years who are students at Kitasato University 2.
