NCT ID NCT03877666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how routine cleft repair surgery changes blood flow in the roof of the mouth. Researchers used a non-invasive probe to measure oxygen levels in the tissue before and after surgery in 77 patients. The goal was to understand the surgery's effect on tissue health, not to test a new treatment.
