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 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 if a gentle breath-hold technique (Valsalva maneuver) given just after a procedure to fix floppy voice box (supraglottoplasty) can reduce the risk of sudden voice box spasm. It is meant for infants and children up to 6 years old having this surgery.
This study tests two common medicines given before surgery to see which helps doctors place a breathing tube more easily and reduces coughing afterward in children ages 2–12. The breathing tube (laryngeal mask airway) keeps your child's airway open safely during surgery.
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 study compares five different treatments for laryngopharyngeal reflux—acid that comes up from your stomach and irritates your throat and voice box. Researchers will test which approach works best: three over-the-counter antacids, a prescription acid-blocking medicine, or dietary changes alone.
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.
