MRI scans reveal hidden causes of speech issues in cleft palate kids
NCT ID NCT06072495
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates why some children still have speech problems (velopharyngeal insufficiency) after cleft palate surgery. Researchers will use real-time MRI to look at how the soft palate moves and its muscle structure in children aged 7 to 12. By comparing children with different levels of speech difficulty, they hope to find clues that could lead to more personalized treatments.
