Active clinical trials for "Otitis Media"

Otitis media is one of the most common infections among children and is a complication in about 30% of common colds. The most common complication of acute otitis media is otitis media with effusion. Some studies have reported the effects of montelukast and mometasone nasal spray in treatment of otitis media with effusion. However, current information is inadequate in this issue. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of montelukast and mometasone nasal spray in treatment of otitis media with effusion in children attending Koodakan hospital in Bandar Abbas, Iran.

The general hypothesis is that delayed antibiotic treatment strategy present similar effectiveness, when compared with non-prescription of antibiotics or the prescription of antibiotics, in the non-complicated acute respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients.

This study compares a standard method for palate repair (the Furlow palatoplasty) with a modification of that method to determine which, if either, is more effective in reducing the duration of middle-ear disease (fluid in the ear) in cleft palate patients.

The study will be conducted in infants and children with acute otitis media, 6 months to less than 7 years old, in Costa Rica and Israel. The primary objective of this trial will be to describe bacteriologic efficacy in those with initial culture positive specimens with different dosages of faropenem

To determine if a wait and see prescription for ear infections in childhood reduces use of antibiotics compared to an immediate prescription

Chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the most common chronic infections in children worldwide. Symptoms include otorrhea, otalgia and hearing loss. In many countries, it is treated primarily with antibiotics; in other countries such as the Netherlands a surgical approach, such as a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, placement or removal of tympanostomy tubes or a tympanomastoidectomy is preferred. There is however, no agreement on the management of this disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatment with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim for 6-12 weeks in children suffering from chronic otitis media and otorrhea.

The purpose of the study is to assess the rate of elimination of bacteria by levofloxacin in middle ear fluid of children with a rapid and severe onset of infection and inflammation of the middle ear who are at high risk for infections that are difficult to treat.

Acute otitis media is one of the most common diseases of childhood and is one of the major causes of hearing loss in children. Despite the availability of effective antibiotic therapy for otitis media, treatment failures, persistent effusions, and recurrences are common. This Phase III outpatient study aims to test whether adjuvant therapy (an antihistamine or a corticosteroid), in addition to antibiotic therapy, improves the acute and long-term outcomes of patients with acute otitis media. This study is targeted to recruiting 200 infants (age less than one year); patient (and parent) participation is estimated to continue for one year after enrollment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate EXE844 plus tympanostomy tubes compared to tympanostomy tubes only based on sustained clinical cure at end-of-therapy (EOT).

This is a study to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine to intranasal fentanyl following anesthesia induction in patients undergoing myringotomy and placement of pressure equalization (PE) tubes in providing analgesia and smoothing emergence from general anesthesia.
