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 tests a new type of clear aligner (called AlignBabyCleft) for babies with cleft lip and/or palate. The goal is to see if early treatment with these aligners can help with the cleft before surgery or other treatments.
This study tests whether a custom-made nostril retainer, used after cleft lip surgery, helps keep the nose shaped well as it heals. It may improve the appearance of the nose in infants who have surgery for a cleft lip before 18 months of age.
This study compares two ways to shape the nose and improve facial appearance in babies born with bilateral cleft lip and palate. It aims to find which method works better before surgery. Participating babies will receive the treatment starting when they are less than one month old.
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.
This study uses computer planning and 3D printed models to help the anesthesia team manage breathing and airway safety during a child’s cleft-related surgery. It may improve planning and safety by matching the anesthesia plan to your child’s anatomy.
