Micropulse Cyclophotocoagulation Versus Continuous Wave Cyclophotocoagulation: A Meta-Analysis.

Journal of glaucoma·April 1, 2026·PMID: 41400437

What's New

Continuous wave cyclophotocoagulation produced significantly greater long-term intraocular pressure reduction than micropulse cyclophotocoagulation in pediatric glaucoma.

Detailed Summary

A systematic review and meta-analysis compared MP-CPC and CW-CPC for pediatric glaucoma. CW-CPC was associated with significantly greater IOP reduction at 12 months (MD: -6.88 mmHg; P<0.00001) and at last follow-up (MD: -4.23 mmHg; P=0.0003), though no significant differences were observed at 1, 3, or 6 months.

Study Population
