Study Summary

Randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of photobiomodulation compared with sham on central subfield thickness (CST) in eyes with central-involved DME and good vision.

Primary Outcome

Only eyes that completed the 4-month visit were included in calculation of descriptive statistics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) data. For eyes that received alternate DME treatment prior to 4 months (N=3 \[PBM\]; N = 1 \[placebo\]), the last OCT measurements prior to alternative diabetic macular edema (DME) treatment were used in place of the 4-month measurements. All analyses followed the intent-to-treat principle. Multiple imputation (m = 100) was used for missing values of central sub
