NCT ID: NCT06381713 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Cleft Lip and Palate

Effect and Cost-utility of of High Intensity vs. Low Intensity Speech Intervention in Children With Cleft Palate

Start date: August 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Achieving speech that is understandable and acceptable to others is the key outcome in cleft treatment. Therefore, speech therapy provided by a speech-language pathologist is necessary. This intervention is traditionally provided twice per week for 30 minutes for months or even years by first-line speech-language pathologists. Unfortunately, this low intensity intervention is based on a historical context rather than scientific evidence. This means that current speech therapy knows several shortcomings including poor outcomes, treatment fatigue and high costs related to year-long therapy. Because of these issues, the use of high intensity speech intervention is proposed. Even though solid proof-of-concepts exist for this model, it has not yet found its way into clinical practice. Before this intensity can be implemented and utilized in clinical practice, the effect of this novel program on a larger societal scale must be determined. This project will compare the effect of high intensity and low intensity speech intervention in children with a cleft palate in terms of speech, quality of life, and cost-utility as provided by first-line speech-language pathologists by conducting a large-scale randomized controlled trial. The final goal is to utilize this program in clinical practice and to create awareness of the benefits for children with a cleft palate among stakeholders.

NCT ID: NCT03688737 Not yet recruiting - Laser Clinical Trials

Low Level Laser in Isolated Cleft Palate Repair Versus Surgical Correction Without LLL in Healing Process

Start date: October 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Does the use of low level laser (LLL) after surgical correction of cleft palate improve healing and decrease incidence of oronasal fistula?
