Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Clinical Trial

Official title: Otological Safety Profile of 100% Manuka Honey Application in Tympanoplasty: A Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Throughout history, honey has been recognized for its healing properties. The use of honey for its medicinal properties dates back to 2200 BCE. The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the otological safety of 100% Medical grade Manuka Honey given to tympanoplasty patients The main question it aims to answer is: Can 100% Medical Grade Manuka Honey given at the time of Tympanoplasty otologically safe? Participants in the intervention group will receive a wound dressing of 100% medical grade Manuka honey after reconstructive surgery of the tympanic membrane. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the control group assess otological safety.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the present study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the otological safety of 100% medical grade Manuka honey on the tympanic membrane post Tympanoplasty compared to the control group. The investigation will involve 64 participants with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media of the mucosal type, who will be randomly put into two groups (intervention or control), where the intervention group will receive a dressing of 100% sterile Manuka honey during surgery. Results of this study will inform practitioners as to the otological safety of 100% sterile Manuka honey on the tympanic membrane. ;
