Curcuma-Based Nutritional Supplement in Patients with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
To investigate effectiveness and safety of a curcumin-based nutritional supplement in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We conducted a controlled retrospective study, reviewing the medical records of patients referred to the Eye Center, Humanitas Hospital, Bergamo due to neovascular AMD and treated with antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections (IVIs) and oral administration of a curcumin-based nutritional supplement vehiculated by enterosoma-I®. We retrospectively collected data of 18 naive patients who received IVI and daily oral nutritional supplement and 24 naive age-matched controls with the same diagnosis undergoing only IVI. All patients underwent a loading-phase of one-per-month IVI for 3 months and then received IVI pro re nata. Median best-corrected visual acuity was significantly improved in treated patients compared with controls (P < .05), while there was no statistical difference in central macular thickness between groups (P > .05). The total number of injections (tIVI) was significantly (P < .05) reduced in the treated group compared with controls. The tIVI in treated group ranged from 3 to 5 with a median of 4 while control group received a tIVI that ranged between 6 and 7 with a median of 7. Treatment with curcumin-based nutritional supplement was safe and effective. Curcumin is a promising adjuvant of anti-VEGF treatment, improves functional outcomes, and prolongs duration.
