Enlarged adenoids and persistent ear fluid in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how the size of enlarged adenoids (tissue at the back of the nose) relates to persistent fluid in the middle ear (otitis media with effusion) in children. The goal is to understand this link better to improve diagnosis and treatment.

This study tests a new laser otoscope to see if it can find fluid behind the eardrum better than current methods. It is being tested in children and teens who are already getting ear tubes placed.
This study uses ultrasound to see if enlarged adenoids affect the masseter muscle (a chewing muscle) in children. It may help doctors understand how breathing problems during sleep or mouth breathing impact jaw muscles.
This study looks at how removing the adenoids (and tonsils) affects a child's voice. It measures voice changes before and after surgery to see if the procedure improves or alters how the child sounds.
This study looks at children getting adenoid surgery (adenoidectomy) to see how different factors and surgical methods affect whether any adenoid tissue is left behind. It aims to help improve surgical outcomes.
This trial looks at whether removing the adenoids (adenoidectomy) helps reduce allergy symptoms and allergy-related blood markers in children with allergic rhinitis. It will compare kids who get the surgery with those who don't, to see if the surgery improves their quality of life.
This study looks at children with a certain type of ear infection to learn more about it. It helps doctors understand the condition better.
