Cutting down unneeded antibiotics for children's ear infections
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and 17 years old and has been diagnosed with an ear infection.
- You are a parent or legal guardian, at least 18 years old, willing to fill out surveys or join a discussion group.
- You are a doctor, nurse, or clinic staff member who treats children with ear infections, and you are not a trainee.

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.
This study compares amoxicillin alone to amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid for treating acute ear infections in children ages 1 to 5. The goal is to see which treatment works better.
This study compares different antibiotics to see which works best for ear infections in children aged 6 months to 3 years. It aims to help doctors choose the most effective treatment with fewer side effects.
This study tests if a game-like training tool and artificial intelligence (AI) help doctors better diagnose ear infections. If you or your child have ear discomfort or symptoms, this study may improve how quickly and accurately the problem is found.
This study looks at how well children take their antibiotics when prescribed in a hospital emergency room compared to a primary care clinic. The goal is to find ways to improve how kids complete their full course of antibiotics.
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.
