Follow-up study of a new tongue-tie treatment device
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new device for treating tongue-tie, a condition where the tissue under the tongue is tight and can cause feeding or speaking problems. If you or your child has tongue-tie, this procedure might help release the tongue and improve function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have tongue-tie (a condition where the tissue under the tongue is tight) that needs treatment
- You must not have other unusual structures in the mouth that could make the tongue-tie surgery riskier
- You must not have a blood disorder (like a bleeding problem)
- You must not have a weakened immune system

This study tests whether a special laser can safely and effectively treat tongue-tie (a condition where the tissue under the tongue is too tight) in children ages 3–6. The goal is to see if the laser helps the tongue move better and heals faster than other methods.
This trial tests whether gentle mouth massages after tongue-tie surgery (frenotomy) can help prevent the tongue from re-attaching and improve feeding in babies under 1 year old.
This study looks at how tongue tie (ankyloglossia) affects breastfeeding in newborns. It may help you get support and information about breastfeeding if your baby has tongue tie.
