Comparing the Effect of the Water Drinking Test on Intraocular Pressure
NCT02001155 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
A test that was common in the 1960's and was used to detect primary open angle glaucoma was the water drinking test (patients drank 1 quart of water to stress the fluid drainage mechanism of the eyes. Intraocular pressure was then measured over the next hour). Recently this test has been demonstrated as a predictor of peak eye pressure during the day. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of the water drinking test between eyes that have undergone trabeculectomy and eyes that have undergone tube shunt surgery.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02001155
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02001155 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Wills Eye, which has 12 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Glaucoma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Water Drinking Test is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02001155 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
