First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether gentle massages under the tongue after a frenotomy (tongue-tie release) can prevent the condition from recurring. Infants under one year who have had the procedure will be randomly assigned to receive the massage routine or no massage. The study will compare recurrence rates and feeding experiences between the two groups.
