- NCT04771156RecruitingPhase 4
Ketorolac pain relief during cleft palate repair
This trial tests whether ketorolac (a pain medicine similar to other NSAIDs) helps control pain during palatoplasty, the surgery to repair a cleft palate. It may help make recovery more comfortable for people having their first palate repair.
Houston, TexasAges 6 months+ - NCT06122805Recruiting
Electric vs. Manual Toothbrush for Kids with Cleft Lip/Palate
This study compares a special dual-light electric toothbrush to a regular manual toothbrush for kids and teens with cleft lip or palate who wear braces. The goal is to see which brush keeps teeth cleaner and gums healthier during orthodontic treatment and after oral surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6–20 - NCT06284434RecruitingPhase 3
EXPAREL for pain after cleft gum repair
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) can help control pain after surgery to repair the gum in children and adults with cleft lip or palate. It may mean less discomfort after the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6 years+ - NCT05876169Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cleft lip?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting cleft lip studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cleft lip trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cleft lip trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
