Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Corneal Confocal Microscopy subjects -


Other interventions: Exposure: Corneal nerve fibre morphology by the CCM Procedure
CCM is a non-invasive method for direct visualization of corneal nerve fibers. Previous research work has confirmed that corneal nerves status correlates with both small and large fibre damage as assessed by quantitative sensory testing and nerve conduction.

In the current trial subjects will undergo a bilateral examination of the Bowman's layer of the cornea using the Rostock Cornea Module of the Heidelberg Tomograph III (Heidelberg Engineering, Smithfield RI, USA) to determine their corneal nerve fiber length, corneal nerve fiber density, corneal nerve branch density, and the tortuosity coefficient. Topical anaesthetic and a viscous gel medium will be applied to the eye, which will create a visual gel bridge between the cornea and the sterile single-use cap on the microscope objective lens. After the interface between the corneal epithelium and Bowman's layer is identified, batches of images will be taken and the most technically sound images will be identified and analyzed.
