Acid-reducing medicine for aspiration in children with laryngomalacia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a common acid-reducing medicine (a proton pump inhibitor) to children with laryngomalacia can reduce choking and aspiration. It may help if your child has frequent choking episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and 5 years old.
- Your child has a diagnosis of laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box) confirmed by a scope exam.
- Your child has had repeated choking attacks or signs of food or liquid going into the airway (aspiration).
- Your child does not have any neurological conditions, birth defects, or other causes of breathing trouble.

This study tests a simple breathing technique (called a Valsalva maneuver) to see if it can prevent a common side effect called laryngospasm, where the voice box muscles spasm and block breathing, after surgery to fix a condition called laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box).
This trial is for children with laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box) who have noisy breathing and trouble breathing. It will check how they are doing before and after treatment, and follow up for one year to see how their quality of life improves.
This trial tests whether giving children a medication called dexmedetomidine makes placing a breathing tube (called a laryngeal mask airway) smoother and reduces coughing after surgery, compared to another medication called lidocaine.
This trial compares two devices used to help children breathe during surgery (LarySeal Pro and Ambu AuraGain). It measures how much air gets into the stomach, which can cause discomfort. It is for children aged 6–12 having short elective surgeries (1 hour or less).
This Phase 4 study looks at gastrointestinal movement (dysmotility) and how it may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children who eat through a tube and have swallowing safety problems. It may help doctors better prevent lung infections in children who cough/choke and need suction often.
This trial studies whether a specific probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) is helpful for children who need acid-reducing medicine for reflux or stomach discomfort. It may help improve stomach symptoms while they are on or need treatment with proton pump inhibitors.
