View clinical trials related to Middle Ear Infection.
Filter by:The objective of this study is to collect ultrasound signal information and visual otoscopic images with an engineering prototype device for children scheduled for tympanostomy tube surgery for the purpose of algorithm development.
Evaluate clinic workflow impact of OtoSight use for patients seen in the pediatric otolaryngology clinic.
Otitis media is more common in young children and it is estimated that 75% of all children experience at least one episode before the age of three. Otitis media is one of the common pediatric diagnoses and recurrent episodes account for the most commonly performed surgical procedure. Despite this a high degree of inaccuracy exists in diagnosis of this condition which depends on subjective assessment of the ear drum via direct visualization using an otoscope. Researchers can use LED-based multi wavelength light absorption and scattering measurements for the analysis of ear drum and the middle ear.
