Cooling treatment for chronic eye surface pain
Part of Eyes & vision, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a cooling treatment (EyeCool) for people with long-term pain on the eye's surface. It looks at how the treatment affects the eye's surface structure and inflammation after standard care hasn't worked well enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had eye surface pain for at least 3 months.
- Your eye pain score on a simple 0-10 scale is 5 or higher.
- You can get clear images of the nerves on your eye's surface using a special microscope.
- Your eye pain does not improve by at least 50% after numbing drops at the screening visit (this helps show the pain is coming from the eye surface itself).
- You do not have significant scarring on the eye's surface that would block the microscope images.
- You have enough eye surface nerves to allow imaging.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a treatment for inflammation on the eye's surface, specifically keratitis (cornea inflammation), to see if it can help calm the redness, pain, or irritation.
This study tests a new non-invasive treatment (Quantum Molecular Resonance) to see if it can reduce pain and help damaged nerves in the eye heal. It may help people with long-lasting eye pain caused by nerve damage.
This Phase 3 study compares two topical (applied to the eye) treatments to reduce inflammation-related irritation in people who wear a permanent eye prosthesis. It may help if your prosthesis-related eye discomfort is ongoing despite basic care like artificial tears.
This trial tests whether special eye drops made from cord plasma (a blood product) can reduce chronic eye pain caused by damaged nerves in the cornea (the clear front part of your eye). You may qualify if you have had eye pain for at least 3 months without obvious surface damage.
This Phase 4 trial studies whether numbing eye drops (proparacaine 0.5%) can reduce pain during a procedure called probing and irrigation of the tear drainage system. If you need this test for ongoing watery eyes, the trial may help make the procedure more comfortable.
This trial studies how to treat eye surface discomfort in people who have glaucoma and are already using multiple eye drops. It may help reduce symptoms like irritation while keeping glaucoma treatment on track.
