Tinted Contact Lenses for Concussion-Related Light Sensitivity

This study is looking at whether special tinted contact lenses can help reduce light sensitivity (photophobia) after a mild concussion. Researchers want to see if these narrow band (tinted) contact lenses, compared to broad band (clear) contact lenses, can make it easier for people to return to work or school. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, had a mild concussion within the last two years, and are experiencing light sensitivity. The study will measure how many participants see an improvement in their light sensitivity symptoms after one week of using the tinted contact lenses. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 60 participants. Participants will receive either narrow band (tinted) or broad band (clear) contact lenses based on a survey.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants' light sensitivity will be measured at baseline and again after 1 week.

What this trial measures

  • Number of participants that improved symptoms of light sensitivity with narrow band (tinted) contact lensesBaseline, 1 week

    Improvement in the Utah Photophobia Symptom Impact Scale version 2 (UPSIS-2) on a scale of 15-60. Anything over 26 is considered significant.
