Gut bacteria and central serous chorioretinopathy study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between gut bacteria and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), a condition where fluid builds up under the retina. It may help us understand why some people get CSC and find better ways to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) — fluid under the retina — for no more than 6 months
- Your vision in the affected eye is between roughly 20/20 and 20/200 (measured on an eye chart)
- You do not have other serious eye diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic eye problems, or high myopia

This study measures blood flow in the eye in people with acute or chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). It uses eye scans and special imaging to better understand what’s happening and whether it may differ between short-term and long-term disease.
This study tests a gentle laser treatment called micropulse laser for people with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. It aims to help dry up the fluid under the retina that has not responded to standard medications for at least 6 months.
This study is testing whether mindfulness-based stress reduction can help people with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), a condition causing fluid buildup under the retina. If you have active CSCR that started recently, you might be eligible.
This trial tests a low-energy “subthreshold” laser to treat long-lasting fluid under the retina from central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). It may help dry up the fluid and improve vision, compared with a sham (placebo) treatment.
This trial compares two treatments for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), a condition that causes fluid buildup under the retina. It tests whether adding a light therapy (photodynamic therapy) to micropulse laser treatment helps improve vision more than laser alone.
This trial tests whether taking oral melatonin (a natural hormone) can help treat central serous chorioretinopathy, a condition where fluid builds up under the retina and blurs vision. It may be a good fit if you were recently diagnosed and haven't had certain eye procedures recently.
