According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial involved 18 people in total — 9 in a group using an active PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) device, and 9 using a placebo (inactive) version of the same device. PEMF is a type of therapy that uses electromagnetic pulses applied to the body. The trial was looking at whether using the active device alongside standard treatment made any difference to eye inflammation in people with a condition called anterior uveitis, which is swelling and irritation inside the front part of the eye. All 9 participants in the active device group finished the trial, while 8 of the 9 in the placebo group completed it. The reported data shows one primary outcome measure: the level of eye inflammation at day 7, scored on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 means minimal inflammation and 4 means the most severe level. According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, the active device group had an average score of 0.625 at day 7, while the placebo device group had an average score of 1.444 at day 7. No other outcome measures were included in the submitted results data, so additional findings beyond this inflammation score were not reported. It is worth noting that this was a very small trial — fewer than 10 people in each group — and only one set of numbers was submitted. The reported data shows only what was measured and recorded in this particular study. These are the results as reported to ClinicalTrials.gov.
