Filter by:Children with ankyloglossia (tongue tie) can have abnormal tongue function, putting them at a disadvantage when it comes to speech and articulation. Furthermore, abnormal tongue posture within the oral cavity increases the likelihood of myofunctional disorders.
The goal of this observational study is to examine how performed frenotomy in term-born infants influences the breastfeeding duration. The main questions the study aims to answer are how a suspected tongue-tie, vacuum strength, and breastfeeding may be associated. Families of infants with tongue-tie where frenotomy is suspected will be invited to participate. Intra-oral vacuum measurements before and 5-10 days after frenotomy will be obtained and the breastfeeding status followed for 6 months.
The aim of this double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial was to test whether pre-emptive analgesia with ibuprofen suppository is effective for children undergoing pediatric stomatology day surgeries in the postoperative period.
The objective of this randomized, single-blind clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two treatments (Myofunctional Therapy and breastfeeding sessions) in infants who have difficulty breastfeeding during the first week of life. The main questions to be answered are: - Is breastfeeding improved with this type of intervention? - What type of intervention is better? - After carrying out these interventions, does the baby need to undergo surgery if it presents a sublingual frenulum? Participants must be infants who are one week old and who have been diagnosed with ankyloglossia through the Hazelbaker Scale. They will be randomly distributed into the two intervention groups and after one month of treatment, they will be assessed again using the same scale. The researchers will compare the results between these two groups in order to verify the best intervention.
Oral cavity's structural variations are involved in the successful breastfeeding of the newborn infants. The tongue-tie has been shown to cause breastfeeding problems. This project investigates the oral structural properties of the newborn infants and the efficacy and safety of their treatment options in breastfeeding problems. The project includes two studies: 1. A prospective follow-up study that investigates the epidemiology and associations between oral structures and breastfeeding problems in term and preterm infants; 2. A randomised, controlled study that investigates the efficacy and safety of tongue-tie treatments. Follow-up visits are planned two to three months, one year, and five years after randomisation along with a 6 months' e-questionnaire for all study patients. The study provides information at the population level.
The investigators are registering a randomised controlled trial to assess whether dedicated, intensified lactation support is as good as frenotomy on the incidence of breastfeeding among term infants with ankyloglossia.
Clipping of the tongue-tie is a common procedure that neonatologists perform in our neonatal unit to help establish breastfeeding. It is a painful technique where the measures healthcare providers usually perform to control pain (such as sucking) cannot be done at the time of the clipping because the technique is performed on the tongue. The aim of this study was to prove that inhaled lavender essential oil during the clipping of the tongue-tie can help control pain. Participants were newborns born at our hospital during the study period. They were offered to participate and enrolled in the study if their parents agreed to and signed an informed consent. The use of inhaled lavender essential oil is safe. No side effects have been found with its use. The procedure of the frenotomy did not change for patients who were enrolled in the study. By demonstrating that inhaled lavender essential oil helps reduce pain, its use was included as part of the regular measures to control pain during frenotomies at our neonatal unit (Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain). The study started in August 2020 and ended in April 2021.
Clipping of the tongue-tie is a common procedure that physicians perform in our neonatal unit to help establish breastfeeding. It is a painful technique where the measures usually performed to control pain (such as sucking) cannot be done at the time of the clipping because the technique is performed on the tongue. A previous study conducted at our center proved the benefits of inhaled lavender essential oil to control pain during frenotomy, for which inhaled essential oil is now routinely used when clipping a tongue-tie. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic/soothing effect of inhaled lavender essential oil vs inhaled vanilla essential oil during the clipping of the tongue-tie. Participants will be newborns born at our hospital during the study period (expected to be May to December 2021). Patients will be offered to participate and will be enrolled in the study if their parents agree to and sign an informed consent. The use of inhaled lavender and vanilla essential oils is safe. No side effects have been found with their use. The procedure of the frenotomy will not change for patients who are enrolled in the study. At the moment, inhaled lavender essential oil is used as complementary analgesia for the clipping of tongue-ties in our neonatal unit. By demonstrating which of the two oils has better results, the investigators aim to improve pain management of the patients who undergo a frenotomy. This study will take place at the neonatal unit of Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain.
The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of short sublingual frenulum in newborns of the Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell of the Principat of Andorra.
The study is a prospective multi-centre clinical follow-up study of prevalence and severity of tongue-tie in neonates in Norway. During one year around 2600 newborn infants will be examined for tongue-tie in the two participating hospitals. The infants diagnosed with a tongue tie, will be followed to assess the proportion of infants treated and the severity. Feeding outcomes will be observed up to 6 months of age.
