Active clinical trials for "Otitis Media"

This study was performed in children with upper respiratory tract infections (acute ear infection, infection of the tonsils or throat, or bacterial inflammation of the bronchi) who needed treatment with an antibiotic (clarithromycin). The study investigated a new technology which delivers the antibiotic in a straw (dose sipping technology, DST) in comparison to a marketed syrup.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of OTO-201 in the treatment of pediatric subjects with bilateral middle ear effusion who require tympanostomy tube placement.

To assess the clinical safety and efficacy of the Benzocaine relative to placebo in pain relief associated with acute otitis media.

BACKGROUND: The combinations of rocuronium and cisatracurium have a synergic effect. The investigators studied whether the prediction is possible to have a sufficient effect of reducing the dose when combining the two neuromuscular blocking agents through monitoring neuromuscular relaxation during surgery. METHODS: Each group were intubating dose group (Group I, n=27) combined Effective Dose (ED)95 rocuronium and ED95 cisatracurium, small amount reducing group (Group S, n=27) reduced 10% of each ED95 and large amount reducing group (Group L, n=27) reduced 20% of each ED95. Before patients arrived in the operating room, rocuronium and cisatracurium were prepared by a nurse who was not involved in this study. Each study drug was administrated to the patient and timer was started with TOF-Watch® monitoring. Train-of-four (TOF) of the ulnar nerve was used as setting of 2 Hz per 12 sec. The investigators checked time to TOF ratio=0 (Onset), time to 1st TOF ratio>25% (Duration 25%) and TOF 25-75% (recovery index) under total i.v. anesthesia (TIVA). One way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis (α=0.05, β=0.2).

The primary objective is to compare the effect of treatment with a combination of ear solutions on the reduction of pain symptoms at 1 hour after dosing in children with acute otitis media.

Dose Ranging Study of OTO-201 in AOMT

This is an 8-week, multicenter, open-label study in which eligible subjects with a history of otitis media requiring TT placement will receive 6 mg OTO-201 to each ear. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OTO-201 in subjects undergoing TT placement with common concurrent surgeries and any middle ear effusion status.

The purpose of this study is to develop a better understanding of the safety, tolerability and efficacy of intranasal OP0201 as an adjunct treatment to oral antibiotics for the treatment of Acute Otitis Media (AOM) in infants and children.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of shared decision making in treatment of Acute Otitis Media in the Emergency Department setting.

The goal of this clinical, randomized trial is to compare the sleeping patterns and quality of life of children with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) with or without tympanic tubes insertion. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does tympanic tube insertion have an effect on sleep quality in children with chronic OME? Does tympanic tube insertion improve the quality of life for the children with chronic OME and their caregivers? Participants will have their movements during sleep and number of awakenings measured by an accelerometer placed on their wrist for 7 nights before and after tympanic tube insertion. Their caregivers will answer questionnaires regarding quality of life on behalf of the child. Researchers will compare with a control group of children who also is diagnosed with chronic OME. They will also have their sleep monitored for 7 nights and their caregivers will complete quality of life questionnaires, but the will not receive a tympanic tube. However the control group will be reassessed a month after baseline, and if they still qualify for tympanic tube insertion they will undergo the same routine as the intervention group.
