New Nasal Device for Kids Having Cleft Lip Surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new nasal conformer (a small device placed in the nose after surgery) to see if it helps children who are having cleft lip repair or surgery to release nasal scarring. It may improve healing and nose shape.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having surgery to repair a cleft lip or to release nasal scarring.
- You and your child agree to take part in the study.
- Your child's doctor feels that a nasal stent (a small device placed in the nose) is a good option after surgery.

This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
This trial compares two different devices (a nasal elevator and a nasal stent placed with a special molding appliance) to see which one improves the shape of the nose and upper lip in babies with bilateral cleft lip and palate. It may help your baby's face look more natural before any surgery.
This trial compares two different techniques for making a molding device (a baby “nasal/cheek shape” support) for newborns with a cleft lip and palate on one side. It may help your baby get a better starting nose and lip shape during early treatment.
This study compares two types of molding devices for babies with a cleft lip and palate on one side. The goal is to see which one works better to shape the gums and nose before surgery.
This trial looks at how well a procedure called microfat grafting (using small amounts of fat to reshape tissue) works for nose and upper-lip shape changes after cleft lip. If you’re willing to have the surgery and can safely receive anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether a presurgery orthodontic shaping method affects how newborns with a cleft lip and palate grow over time. It may help clinicians decide on the best early treatment approach.
