Active clinical trials for "Otitis Media"

Supine feeding position is associated with serous otitis media. The hypothesis is that supine feeding is associated with recurrent otitis media, tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy and recurrent pneumonia secondary to recurrent aspiration.

The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of sclerostin in patients with cholesteatoma. So far, there is no study showing the levels of sclerostin in cholesteatoma. The investigators hope that the results of our study will start new processes that can be used in the clinic.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of sleep disturbances in children with Chronic Otitis Media with Effusion (COME) and the effect of tympanostomy tube insertion (TTI) on sleep disturbances.

Obesity is associated with increased risk of surgical complications. Ventilation tube insertion is one of the most frequent surgical procedures performed on children. However, the impact of obesity on surgical results or surgical related complication following ventilation tube insertion remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on the surgical results of ventilation tube insertion for otitis media with effusion (OME) in pediatric patients.

The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize the bacteria causing complicated Acute Otitis Media episode in children >= 3 months to < 5 years in Turkey.

This is a retrospective chart review. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively examine the use of perioperative analgesics on the incidence of postoperative pain and emergence delirium in patients undergoing bilateral myringotomy with tube insertion (BTI), as well as events associated with treatment including postoperative vomiting and time to discharge.

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. Researcher can use Diffuse optical spectroscopy and diffuse optical imaging for the analysis of ear drum and the middle ear.

The purpose of this epidemiological study is to identify and characterize the bacteria causing Acute Otitis Media episodes in children aged >= 3 months to < 5 years in Egypt.

This clinical study is designed to assess prospectively the sero-responses to various proteins in cases of pneumococcal Acute Otitis Media.

This community-based cross-sectional survey will estimate the frequency and risk factors of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media and Hearing Impairment in Children ages 4-6 years in the Chikwawa District. These data will be useful for service planning, disease prevention efforts and to guide future research in this field.
