Filter by:This is a 1-month, prospective, multicenter, open-label study in pediatric subjects with either unilateral or bilateral acute otitis media with tympanostomy tubes (AOMT). Eligible subjects will receive a single dose of 6 mg OTO-201 to the affected ear(s). The study is designed to characterize safety, procedural factors and clinical effect of OTO-201 administered in subjects with AOMT.
The purpose of this study is to study whether a herbal-based medication is superior to placebo for prevention of acute otitis media in pre-school children with upper respiratory tract infection.
The purpose of this study is to identify and use patient centered outcomes to compare narrow-spectrum and broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of common acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in children.
The purpose of the study is to establish wether a contrast medium applied to the middle ear can be used to diagnose pathology in the auditory tube. We will examine patients with and without middle ear disease with CT after the application of an iodine based contrast medium.
For measuring quality of life in patients with chronic inflammation of the middle ear, only two questionnaires currently exist. However, these questionnaires are designed only to measure either disease-specific health or hearing-related quality of life. The aim of this project is the validation of a pre-existing comprehensive questionnaire, which is routinely administered in the investigators clinic but has never been validated. Following a retrospective item reduction based on existing data, this questionnaire will be prospectively validated. Applying the resulting questionnaire in future studies on chronic middle ear inflammation, not only objective outcome parameters (e.g. audiograms) but also quality of life will be assessed. Therefore, the investigators questionnaire will add substantial information to these outcome studies by providing a subjective outcome parameter.
Objective: to evaluate acupunctures effect on inflammatory markers in pediatric Otitis Media with Effusion Methods: 100 Children with otitis media with effusion (OME) diagnosis, who are in watchful waiting for 3 month, will be randomized in two groups: acupuncture and control. 50 Children in the acupuncture group will receive standard treatment combined with acupuncture for 3 months. 50 Children in the control group will receive standard treatment only, for the same time period. After 3 months, both groups will be reassessed for OME. Children with no improvement from both groups will be assigned for tympanostomy. Data collection: in children undergoing tympanostomy, middle ear effusion (MEE) will be collected, analyzed and evaluated for group differences.
The aim of the study was detection of pepsin in effusion in children with OME using Peptest as new quick and cheap method of detection and comparison results with results of other studies in which pepsin was detected by more demanding methods. Such a type of study hasn't been done so far.
Detection of extraesophageal reflux (EER) in children with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) using three different diagnostic methods and selection of the group of patients with severe EER who could potentially benefit from antireflux therapy.
Otitis media with effusion (OME) cases refer to a clinically silent condition. Otoscopic findings are subjective and not always reliable. As an objective test tympanometric evaluation is imperfect for diagnosis of OME. The objective of our study was to investigate, in OME cases, the correlation of tympanic membrane color changes with the presence and viscosity of effusion in the middle ear. The study aimed to provide objective diagnostic and therapeutic criteria for patients scheduled for surgery by 2 means: measuring the viscosity of the fluid and evaluating color changes objectively with red-green-blue (RGB) measurements.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Hummingbird ear tube delivery system is a safe and effective way to put ear tubes in place.
