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.

This study looks at how well early orthopedic treatment works for babies born with cleft lip and/or palate before they have surgery. It may help improve treatment plans and outcomes.
This trial studies if applying a gel made from your child's own blood (plasma rich in growth factors) can improve healing after surgery to repair a cleft palate. It is for healthy babies and toddlers between 6 and 18 months old with an isolated cleft palate that is not part of a genetic syndrome.
This study tests a new feeding system to help infants recover after heart surgery. If your baby needs heart surgery soon after birth, this may help improve their recovery.
