Study Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if a hands on technique will increase tear production in patients aged 45 and younger, without a history of eye issues. The main question it aims to answer is: Will there be an increase in tear production using a specific hand on technique applied inside the mouth? Participants will have a small, sterile, piece of paper that will be placed briefly in their eye. This is done to take measurements of tear production. A doctor will then perform a hands on technique in which a gloved finger is placed in the participants' mouth to release the tension that is found. After the technique is completed, the participants' eye will be retested with the tear strip. The tear test strip will be applied twice more on the following visits at 2 days after the first session and one week after the first session
Primary Outcome
Will measure tear production via the Schirmer test strips and will compare pre and post intervention
Interventions
- PROCEDURE sphenopalatine ganglion release
