Device for guiding skull surgery in children with craniostenosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new medical device that helps guide surgery for children with certain skull conditions (trigonocephaly or anterior plagiocephaly). The device is designed to make the surgery safer and more precise for children aged 4 to 24 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 months and 24 months old and has a specific type of skull condition called 'anterior craniostenosis' (either trigonocephaly or anterior plagiocephaly).
- The surgery will be performed at Besançon University Hospital.
- Both parents (or the only parent) must sign a consent form agreeing to take part in the study.
- Your child must be covered by French social security.
- Your child will need a CT scan and cone beam CT before surgery to measure certain skull features.

This study tests whether burosumab and vitamin D affect bone cells before and around the time of craniosynostosis surgery in children. It may help researchers understand treatment options for rare calcium and phosphate bone disorders that can affect skull growth.
This study tests a new treatment called ASO (antisense oligonucleotide) therapy on tissue samples from babies with syndromic craniosynostosis—a condition where skull bones fuse too early due to specific genetic changes. Researchers hope this approach could eventually help prevent or reduce the severity of this condition.
This research study examines the bone structure and healing of the skull in babies with craniosynostosis (when skull bones fuse too early). Researchers will analyze bone samples to better understand how the condition affects bone development and strength.
This trial is testing a new, dissolvable bone glue to fix bone flaps back in place after skull surgery. It may help people who need a planned skull procedure (craniotomy) in the upper part of the head.
This study checks if a special monitor (called Pleth Variability Index) helps doctors manage fluids better during surgery for children with craniosynostosis. It may lead to safer recovery for your child.
This study is building a database of medical information and images from children with certain conditions affecting the face and skull, such as craniosynostosis, achondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. The goal is to better understand these conditions and improve future care.
