Hearing and balance testing for teens with osteogenesis imperfecta
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study checks how well the inner ear and balance system work in children and young adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The goal is to better understand hearing and balance issues that can affect daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 12 to 20 years old when you join the study
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta (any type)
- Be regularly followed by the OI medical center (CRMR OI)
- Have the patient’s agreement, and—if needed—parent/guardian permission
- Have no other cause of hearing loss (for example, certain inner-ear or nerve problems)
- Be able to take part (no serious neurologic or developmental issues that prevent testing)

This study looks at heart structure and function in children and adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a condition that affects bones. Researchers want to understand how OI may impact the heart.
This study follows people with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) to better understand how it affects bones and related issues over time. It may help doctors learn which features and genetic changes predict problems, and guide future care.
This study looks at whether bisphosphonate treatment affects hearing loss in people with type 1 osteogenesis imperfecta. If you qualify, it may help researchers understand if treatment can protect hearing over time.
This trial tests a cell-based treatment to improve bone strength in children with the most severe type of osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease). If you qualify, it may help slow bone weakening and support growth.
This trial tests an adapted physical activity program to help children and teenagers rebuild strength and improve effort/fitness. It may be helpful if you want a tailored exercise approach that is safe for osteogenesis imperfecta.
This trial tests a new bone-anchored hearing system called OSIA for children born with missing or incomplete outer ears (microtia or atresia). It aims to see if the implant works well on both sides for improving hearing.
