About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding curcumin oral treatment to bevacizumab intravitreal injection in patients with central macular edema.
A blind study and a randomized and controlled clinical trial are conducted on diabetic patients with macular edema. The patients are divided into two intervention groups (bevacizumab + curcumin) and control (bevacizumab + placebo).
The evaluation of the central thickness of the macula and the evaluation of the central volume of the macula are the primary goals and the evaluation of the best visual acuity of the patient is the secondary goal.
