Tokyo, March 10 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000060869) titled 'Exploration of the alleviating effect on visual fatigue' on March 9.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Cross-over Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - No treatment

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Teikyo University

Condition: Condition - visual fatigue, asthenopia Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of periocular warm compression on visual fatigue induced by a visual task, using subjective symptoms and binocular fusion maintenance (BFM) as an objective indicator. While digital device usage causes widespread visual fatigue, effective alleviation methods and objective evaluation metrics have not yet been established. This study aims to objectively verify the efficacy of periocular warm compression in alleviating fatigue and to evaluate the utility of BFM as a quantitative indicator for visual fatigue recovery. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants apply a commercially available hot eye mask (Megu Rhythm Eye Mask, Kao Corp., Tokyo, Japan) to the periocular region for 5 minutes following a 30-minute visual task. To ensure the mask is used during its peak temperature period, it is opened 7 minutes before the start of the rest period. Interventions/Control_2 - Participants rest with their eyes closed for 5 minutes following a 30-minute visual task without wearing an eye mask. This condition serves as a control for the effect of visual deprivation.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Healthy volunteers Key exclusion criteria - Participants with manifest strabismus or nystagmus Target Size - 18

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Open public recruiting Date of protocol fixation - 2023 Year 10 Month 01 Day Date of IRB - 2023 Year 09 Month 29 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2023 Year 10 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2028 Year 03 Month 31 Day
