NCT ID NCT07094581

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study uses ultrasound to compare the jaw (masseter) muscle in children aged 3 to 8 with and without enlarged adenoids. Researchers will measure muscle thickness and structure, and check dental bite patterns. The goal is to see if adenoid hypertrophy is linked to changes in the chewing muscle. No treatment is given.

What this could lead to
