NCT ID: NCT05353569 Recruiting - Otitis Media Clinical Trials

Coherent Optical Detection of Middle Ear Disease

OCTII
Start date: May 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this project is to see if optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new technology acting as an ultrasound for the ear, facilitates accurately diagnosing acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME) in children. Clinical diagnoses made using solely pneumatic otoscopy (PO) will be compared to those made with the addition of OCT.

NCT ID: NCT05324696 Recruiting - Hearing Loss Clinical Trials

Autoinflation: Alternative in the Treatment of Otitis Media With Effusion

OME
Start date: November 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common finding affecting children and the main cause of acquired hearing loss in the pediatric age. OBJECTIVES The purpose of the clinical study is to determine whether self-inflation using a new device: - It is an effective non-invasive treatment during the watchful waiting period, with the ability to improve hearing loss and prevent surgical treatment; - Maintains long-term hearing improvement;

NCT ID: NCT04584073 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Otitis Media With Effusion

Secretory Otitis Media in Adenoids Hypertrophy Patients

Start date: October 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to compare the fate of Secretory Otitis Media in patients with adenoids hypertrophy undergoing Adenoidectomy alone or with Myringotomy or with Myringotomy and Tympanostomy Tube application

NCT ID: NCT04427631 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Hearing Loss, Conductive

Exploring Interventions for Glue Ear During Covid-19

BIG-C
Start date: June 22, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

During the Coronavirus pandemic children's hearing services are closed or reduced and grommet operations are part of the lowest priority group. In the absence of management options, this research study aims to see if bone conduction headphones either paired (via bluetooth) to a microphone or an app will help children with a hearing loss during this period of waiting. The child's quality of life is measured with validated questionnaires The study is over 3 months, and delivered remotely, with the product being sent to the family home and support offered via telephone/ video consulattion.

NCT ID: NCT04395261 Completed - Clinical trials for Otitis Media With Effusion

Wideband Tympanometry in Otitis Media With Effusion

Start date: January 1, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The investigators asked the question if they can better estimate the middle ear status in OME that help them to decide between early intervention or longer follow up.

NCT ID: NCT03978195 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Otitis Media With Effusion

A Non-invasive Device to Remove Fluid From the Middle Ear

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A feasibility study for evaluating efficacy and satisfaction is treated using a non-invasive device for middle ear ventilation. The study is designed to test the device's effectiveness by encouraging the evacuation of fluid from the middle ear, aid in hearing improvement, pain relief and assessment of patient satisfaction with the use of the device.

NCT ID: NCT03975842 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyposis (CRSwNP)

Chronic Otitis Media With Effusion in Chronic Sinusitis With Polyps

Start date: January 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The relationship between otitis media with effusion (OME) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) remains unclear. A cross-sectional study of 80 consecutively presenting patients who were diagnosed with CRSwNP was conducted. The aim was to ascertain the prevalence of OME in CRSwNP patients, to determine whether the severity of CRSwNP affected OME, and to identify risk factors for OME in CRSwNP patients.

NCT ID: NCT03848026 Completed - Clinical trials for OTITIS MEDIA WITH EFFUSION

Tympanostomy Tube Extrusion Time & Viscosity

Start date: January 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Studies have focused on the factors that influence tympanostomy tube (TT) extrusion may contribute to the management of OME. In this study the investigators aimed to assess the correlation between the TT extrusion time and viscosity of the middle ear fluid. 33 patients scheduled for TT insertion included in the study. During the paracentesis, fluid from the middle ear was obtained, and the viscosity was measured with a viscometer. After the surgery, patients were controlled monthly until the tubes were seen extruded.The analysis of the correlation between tube extrusion time and viscosity was insignificant (p >0.05).

NCT ID: NCT03655665 Recruiting - Otitis Media Clinical Trials

Does Topical Otic Drop Use at Time of Tympanostomy Tube Surgery Improve Outcomes When no Middle Ear Effusion is Present

Start date: May 16, 2019
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To determine whether the use of topical otic drops intra-operative and post-operative during tympanostomy tube placement reduces the rate of tympanostomy tube occlusion and post-operative otorrhea (ear drainage) during the initial 4-week post-operative period in subjects with no middle ear effusion (fluid behind the ear drum) present at the time of surgery. A within subject controlled study design will be utilized to study this effect. Subjects with absent middle ear effusion who are receiving tympanostomy tube placement will receive a standard protocol of Floxin topical drops during surgery and after surgery in one ear. Selection of ear (right ear or left ear) will be randomized. The primary measured outcome will be the rate of tympanostomy tube occlusion within first 4 weeks postoperatively. The secondary measured outcome is the rate of tympanostomy tube otorrhea (drainage) within first 4 weeks postoperatively.

NCT ID: NCT03611842 Completed - Clinical trials for Otitis Media With Effusion

Study of the Expression of MMPs in OME in Children With Atrophy of the Eardrum

MMP and OME
Start date: September 30, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a family of endopeptidases that cleaves the extracellular matrix as collagen included in the eardrum. Activity of MMP has been shown in some otitis media with effusion (OME) fluids. These enzymes could be directly linked to the prosnostic of OME as it may damage the eardrum and leads to tympanic atrophy. The main goal of the study is to find out the correlation between activity of MMPs and tympanic atrophy. The investigator will also study if there is any clinical predictive factors in relation to the level of MMPs.
