Descriptive Information
Brief Title  ICMJE Effectiveness of Khat on Eyelid Wound Healing After Oculoplastic Surgery - a Prospective Study.
Official Title  ICMJE Effectiveness of Khat on Eyelid Wound Healing After Oculoplastic Surgery - a Prospective Study.
Brief Summary The post operative routine after Oculoplastic Surgery includes usage of cold compressions for symptomatic relief and decreasing of the edema and local hematomas in the first few days after the surgery. Khat (Catha edulis) is a plant that is used mainly for chewing and has a known stimulating effect, some patients report major improvement after including these leaves in the compressions they use after surgery. Khat contains the chemical ingredients Cathine and Cathinone, which are amphetamine-like alkaloids and probably the main contributors for its active effects. Our main goal is to use compressions that include the Khat leaves and check their effect on reducing the edema and hematomas after oculoplastic surgery.

Study Type  ICMJE Interventional
Study Phase  ICMJE Not Applicable
Study Design  ICMJE Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Each participant is his own control
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition  ICMJE
  • Hematoma
  • Surgical Wound
  • Surgery
  • Eye Bruise
  • Edema
Intervention  ICMJE Biological: Khat leaves
One of the two compressions (one per each eye) the patient will use will contain the Khat leaves.
Study Arms  ICMJE Experimental: Patients after Oculoplastic surgery

Each participant will use one compression with Khat leaves and another standard compression and will decide on which eye to use which compression.

The compressions will be used for 10 minutes per every waking hour in the first 2 days post-op.

The patient will take pictures of both his eyes in days 1,3 and 7 post operative days.

Intervention: Biological: Khat leaves
