Hearing surgery recovery gel study for middle ear disease
This study tests a special gel applied during ear surgery to help the surgical cavity heal faster and more smoothly. It is for adults who need a specific type of ear surgery called canal wall down mastoidectomy, often done for chronic ear infections or growths.

This trial tests a special gel applied during common ear surgeries to see if it helps healing and improves hearing. It may be an option for people having surgery to fix a perforated eardrum, repair ear bones, or treat chronic ear infections.
This trial tests whether applying a special gel called RADA16 to the surgical site after tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) can help children heal better and with less pain. It may offer a new way to improve recovery after this common surgery.
This trial looks at a new RADA16 hydrogel to see if it can help during an endoscopic surgery through the nose for a skull base tumor or a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. You might be a candidate if you are already planned for this specific type of nasal surgery and meet key safety requirements.
This trial tests a new gel (RADA16) placed on the tonsil area after surgery to see if it helps reduce pain and speed healing. It is for adults having a standard tonsillectomy.
This study tests a new way to stimulate your hearing nerve during ear surgery while you are awake. It might help doctors better understand hearing loss and improve future treatments.
This trial tests using a special glass material to fill in the cavity left after ear surgery, which can cause problems like drainage, dizziness, and trouble with hearing aids. The goal is to see if this material helps create a more stable ear.
