New soft food for children after cleft surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of soft food designed to help children with cleft or craniofacial conditions recover better after surgery. The food melts quickly in the mouth, which may make it easier and safer to eat during healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 18 years old.
- They must have a cleft or craniofacial condition and be scheduled for cleft palate repair, alveolar bone graft, or velopharyngeal insufficiency surgery in the next year.
- They must eat all food and drink by mouth (no feeding tube).
- They must not have any allergies to the ingredients in the study food (Savorease Therapeutic Foods).
- You and your child must be able to attend all study visits and answer questions in English.
