Study probes hidden emotional toll of ear surgery in kids

NCT ID NCT04063020

Summary

This study aimed to understand how children with a missing or underdeveloped ear (ear aplasia) experience their condition psychologically. Researchers followed 12 children aged 10-16 who were scheduled for reconstructive surgery to rebuild their outer ear. The goal was to learn about their mental state, quality of life, and how the surgery affected them emotionally, not to test a new treatment.
