MRI reveals hidden speech success after late cleft palate repair
NCT ID NCT07514091
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will use MRI scans to see how well the palate and throat muscles work after a special surgery for cleft palate repair. The surgery uses a piece of cheek muscle to close the gap and aims to improve speech. Ten people who have not had early treatment will get the surgery and then have MRI scans and speech tests 6 months later.
