Study of improving care for common facial clefts
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well early treatment works for babies born with a cleft lip or palate. It aims to improve care and results for infants before they have surgery.
This trial tests a surgical technique (Furlow palatoplasty with a cheek muscle flap) to see if it improves speech development in young children who had a complete cleft lip and palate repaired previously. It may help children between 3 and 5 years old with non-syndromic conditions.
This study tests an early intervention program for babies with an unrepaired cleft palate. It aims to improve language, palate function, and speech sounds before surgery.
This study tests a specific surgical technique to repair cleft lip and palate in infants. It aims to improve outcomes for children with this condition.
This study looks at whether a presurgery orthodontic shaping method affects how newborns with a cleft lip and palate grow over time. It may help clinicians decide on the best early treatment approach.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the shape and movement of the palate after a special type of cleft palate repair surgery. The goal is to see how well the new muscle flap works in helping speech, which could improve future surgeries for other children.
