Platelet-rich fibrin placed during cochlear implant surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial studies whether applying a special healing material during cochlear implant surgery improves outcomes for people with nerve-based hearing loss. You might be eligible if you need a cochlear implant using a specific electrode and do not have certain inner-ear conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have sensorineural hearing loss, meaning hearing loss from the inner-ear/nerve (not just sound-conducting issues).
- You are scheduled for cochlear implant surgery using the CI422 electrode.
- Your inner-ear/ear structure looks normal on evaluation (no cochlear abnormality).
- You do not have auditory neuropathy, a condition where the hearing nerve signal is disrupted despite hearing testing showing mixed results.

This study tests a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
This trial tests a new technique to help preserve your natural hearing during cochlear implant surgery. It uses a special monitoring method (ECochG) to see if the implant can be placed while keeping your remaining hearing intact.
This trial tests a new robotic system that helps doctors insert cochlear implant electrodes more gently. It may lead to safer surgery and better hearing outcomes for people with severe hearing loss.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help improve thin or narrow gum tissue around dental implants. It may be an option if you have less than 2 mm of gum width or thickness around your implant.
This study tests whether adding a natural blood concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to standard surgery improves healing of gum infections around dental implants. It's for people with moderate to advanced implant problems who have good oral hygiene.
This study compares two types of gel made from the patient's own blood, with or without an antibiotic, applied during cleft palate surgery to see if they improve healing and reduce complications.
