New ear scanner could cut unnecessary antibiotics for kids

NCT ID NCT05353569

Summary

This study is testing a new scanning device called OCT, which works like an ultrasound for the ear, to see if it helps doctors more accurately diagnose ear infections in children. Researchers will compare diagnoses made with the usual ear exam tool to those made with the new scanner added. The goal is to see if the scanner leads to fewer unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and fewer surgeries.
