To study the effectiveness and safety of IPL treatment for Chalazion
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IPL therapy for the treatment of chalazion. The effect of IPL on chalazion will be examined in a masked randomized controlled study. Subjects in the study arm will be treated with IPL, while subjects in the control arm will be treated with sham IPL. A significant difference in the outcomes of the two arms will provide support for a genuine contribution of the IPL treatment

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| study arm | Experimental | subjects in the study arm will receive active IPL treatment |
|
| Control arm | Sham Comparator | subjects in the control arm will receive sham IPL treatment |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sham IPL | Device | Three sham IPL treatments in 1-week interval followed by 1 follow-up 4 weeks after the last treatment |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The percentage of resolved chalazion 4 weeks after the last treatment in the study group and the control group | the proportion of subjects with reduction of at lease 80% in lesion size at the follow up visit | 4 weeks after the last treatment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage change from baseline in lesion size in both groups | measuring the lesion size using a millimeter caliper | 4 weeks after the last treatment |
| Time to resolution which is defined as a reduction of at least 80% in lesion size in both groups |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| modified Meibomian Gland Score | 15 Meibomian glands along the lower lid (5 nasal + 5 central + 5 temporal) will be gently expressed with the dedicated expression forceps. Each gland will be scored 0 to 3, as follows: 0 = clear liquid meibum; 1 = cloudy liquid meibum; 2 = inspissated meibum; 3 = blocked). The modified Meibomian Gland score will be evaluated as the sum of scores for these 15 glands. Hence, the minimal value is 0 (all 15 glands express a clear liquid meibum), and the maximal value is 45 (all 15 glands are blocked). A decrease in the modified Meibomian Gland Score means that the functionality of Meibomian glands improved, and that the condition of the patient improved. |
