Vibration to reduce pain from retinal laser
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a vibrating device can reduce pain during laser treatment for diabetic eye disease. It may help make the procedure more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have not had laser treatment for your eyes before.
- You need laser treatment on both eyes for diabetic retinopathy.
- Each eye needs more than 500 laser spots.
- The number of laser spots between your eyes must be similar (less than 51 difference).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests ways to reduce discomfort during a test called scleral indentation, which presses on the outside of the eye to check for a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), a common age-related condition where the gel inside the eye pulls away from the retina. If you have PVD symptoms, this study might help find a gentler way to do the exam.
This trial is testing a new laser treatment pattern for people with diabetic eye disease (proliferative diabetic retinopathy) to see if it works better than the standard approach. If you have this condition and want a less invasive treatment option, this study might be a good fit.
This study tests if a medicine called gabapentin can safely reduce pain after a type of laser eye surgery called surface ablation. It's looking for adults with stable vision who are generally healthy and have not had previous eye procedures.
This trial tests whether a standard laser treatment for diabetic eye disease (called panretinal photocoagulation) affects the cells on the inside of the cornea, which is the clear front part of the eye. It may help doctors understand if this treatment is safe for your cornea.
This study tests whether a micropulsed laser can reduce swelling in the macula (central vision area) in people with inherited retinal diseases. It may help improve or stabilize vision-related swelling seen on detailed eye scans.
This study compares having laser treatment for diabetic eye disease in one session versus spreading it over multiple sessions. The goal is to find out if one approach is better for your eyes and easier for you.
