U.S., Nov. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07924228) titled 'Anterior Approach Levator Plication for Congenital Ptosis, With or Without Scraping of the Levator Muscle Surface' on Nov. 03.
Brief Summary: Congenital ptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid present from birth that can affect vision and appearance. When the eyelid muscle function is good, the eyelid can be corrected by plication (folding and tightening) of the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid.
The main problem with plication is that the eyelid may droop again over time because the smooth muscle surface does not form a strong adhesion. Scraping the muscle surface to create a raw surface may cause scar tissue and stronger adhesi...
