NCT ID NCT07454512

First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether a new laser otoscope can better detect fluid behind the eardrum in children compared to a standard otoscope. About 150 children already scheduled for ear tube surgery will be examined with both devices. The goal is to see if the laser tool helps doctors diagnose middle ear fluid more accurately.
