- NCT07625657Recruiting
CLIKX System for Ear Tube Placement Surgery
This trial tests a new device called CLIKX that helps doctors place small tubes in the eardrum to treat ear fluid and hearing problems. The study will evaluate whether this device works safely and effectively for patients needing ear tube surgery.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 6 months+ - NCT05915078Recruiting
In-office ear tube care with a specific device
This registry study follows children who get ear tubes placed in the doctor’s office using the Tula system. It aims to track outcomes, such as how well the tubes work and how patients do afterward.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 6 months–17 years - NCT06944795Recruiting
SWIR otoscopy for children getting ear tubes
This study uses a special type of otoscope (ear camera) to look inside the ears of children getting ear tubes. It will help doctors see if this new tool gives better images of the middle ear.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–17 - NCT05353569Recruiting
Testing a new way to detect middle ear fluid or infection
This study looks at whether a new light-based check can help detect middle ear problems such as ear infections or fluid behind the eardrum. If it works well, it could help clinicians identify the problem faster and more accurately for children.
Wauwatosa, WisconsinAges 1–6 - NCT05348291Recruiting
Ventilation tubes for babies with frequent ear infections
This trial studies whether placing ventilation (ear) tubes in very young children can reduce how often ear infections happen. It focuses on babies under 1 year old who have a high pattern of repeat ear infections.
LundAges 1–2 - NCT07790679Recruiting
Microbial testing for severe outer ear infections
This study is looking at people with a severe outer ear infection called malignant otitis externa, which often affects those with diabetes or weakened immune systems. The goal is to test for bacteria or fungi in the infection to guide better treatment.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges Any age - NCT07640568Recruiting
Parent-Led Ear Infection Detection Using Phone Imaging
This study teaches parents how to use a special phone camera tool to spot ear infections (acute otitis media, or AOM) at home. Researchers want to see if parents can reliably identify these infections early, which might help avoid unnecessary doctor visits or catch problems sooner.
Vaasa, PohjanmaaAges 1 year–3.9 years - NCT07525505Recruiting
Nigella Sativa Oil for Itchy, Inflamed Ear Canal
This trial tests whether Nigella sativa (black seed) oil can safely treat eczematous otitis externa—a condition causing itching, discomfort, and drainage in the ear canal. Researchers want to see if this natural oil works as well as standard treatments.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18 years+ - NCT07359287Recruiting
Study on antibiotic use for respiratory infections
This study tests a program to help doctors prescribe antibiotics more carefully for common respiratory infections like colds, flu, bronchitis, and sinusitis. It may lead to better treatment for you.
CaenAges Any age - NCT05535634Recruiting
Sound-based hearing check for young Finnish-speaking children
This trial studies a sound-based hearing test to help check hearing in young children. It may be useful if your child is being evaluated for hearing but has no prior inner-ear hearing damage.
TurkuAges 3–10 - NCT04471493Recruiting
Study of children’s common infections in a clinic program
This trial is for children under 16 who have one of several common infections seen in outpatient or clinic visits. It aims to better study and manage these illnesses using a specific clinical documentation software.
CréteilAges 1 day–16 years - NCT06505330Recruiting
Probiotics for kids with cleft palate
This study looks at whether giving probiotics (helpful bacteria) to children with cleft palate can improve the bacteria in their airways and possibly prevent infections. Researchers want to see if this simple treatment helps keep kids healthier.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 6 months–2 years - NCT06260618Recruiting
Testing a new gel for better healing in ear surgery
This trial tests a special gel applied during common ear surgeries to see if it helps healing and improves hearing. It may be an option for people having surgery to fix a perforated eardrum, repair ear bones, or treat chronic ear infections.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07500532Recruiting

Tuscon, ArizonaAges 3–17 - NCT07216430RecruitingPhase 2
Safety and efficacy of a pneumococcal vaccine in young kids
This study tests a new pneumococcal vaccine (wSp) in young children who have already had 3 doses of a standard pneumococcal shot. It aims to see if the new vaccine is safe and works well to protect against serious infections.
Pittsford, New YorkAges 5 months–7 months - NCT07093749Recruiting
Antibiotics and symptom tracking in children
This study looks at how children with common infections feel while taking antibiotics. The goal is to better understand symptom patterns during treatment.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 4–17 - NCT07029997Recruiting
Follow-up study of the Solo+ ear tube device
This study checks how well the Solo+ ear tube device works over time. If you or your child had the device placed to help with ear infections or fluid buildup, joining helps doctors learn how it performs.
Trieste, Trieste (TS)Ages 6 months+ - NCT06876259Recruiting
AI tool to reduce antibiotics for young children with colds
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors decide when antibiotics are not needed for young children with colds. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months–2 years - NCT06034080Recruiting
Cutting down unneeded antibiotics for children's ear infections
This study tests ways to help doctors avoid prescribing antibiotics when they are not needed for children with ear infections. If you are a parent of a child diagnosed with an ear infection or a healthcare provider, you may be able to join different parts of the study.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for otitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting otitis 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 otitis 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 otitis 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.
