Study type | Interventional |
An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a new probiotic strain Lactobacillus salivarius PS7 on Acute Otitis Media (AOM) in children with recurrent AOM history. The study duration will be 7 months, which includes a 6-month product administration and a 1-month follow-up period. Participants will be randomized assigned to one of the three study groups: the control group; a 3 months probiotic +3 months placebo consumption group and a 6 months probiotic consumption group. The efficacy of the probiotic strain to reduce the incidence of AOM episodes will be assessed by counting AOM episodes occurring in study participants, during the entire intervention and follow-up periods, by bilateral comparison of each of the treatment groups with the control group according to the following hypothesis: "The number of AOM episodes occurring in participants who take the probiotic is the same as that for the participants in the control group. λc = λe". Where λc is the mean incidence of AOM in the control group and λe is the mean incidence of AOM in the groups taking the probiotic strain Lactobacillus salivarius PS7 obtained with 95% confidence interval.
