NCT ID NCT05419960

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether children and young adults (ages 12-20) with osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, have problems with their hearing and balance. Participants will undergo hearing tests and special balance assessments, and some may get CT or MRI scans. The goal is to find out if balance issues are linked to the genetic type and severity of the disease.
