Baseline Characteristics

A randomized single-blinded controlled trial involving 40 patients with POAG

Participant flow

A randomized single-blinded controlled trial involving 40 patients with POAG was conducted between February 2018 and October 2019. The patients were divided into two groups (n=20): Group A consumed a single serving of papaya (~250 gm) three times a week for 3 months; Group B consumed a normal diet. Each group recorded daily dietary intakes, and the assigned treatment was continued throughout the study. IOP, RNFL, ONH parameters and serum TAC were recorded at baseline and then monthly for three months by a single blinded operator. Data were analyzed by repetitive-measure analysis of variance.

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

Effect of papaya intake on IOP, RNFL,ONH and serum TAC in POAG at baseline,1st,2nd and 3rd month
