Sildenafil for Treatment of Choroidal Ischemia
Abstract
The hypothesis of this study is to determine if there is a benefit afforded by the use of systemic Sildenafil to patients with choroidal and retinal degenerations and dystrophies, such as vitelliform degeneration, dry and reticular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as well as patients with hereditary and acquired retinal dystrophies such as retinitis pigmentosa and central serous retinopathy.
Conditions: Choroidal Ischemia, Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy, Age-related Macular Degeneration, Central Serous Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa.
Primary outcome: Change in Visual Acuity (Sildenafil Group); Change in Visual Acuity (Medical Record Review Group).
Enrollment: 22 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 22 participants or records.
