Detailed Description

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is one of the most common diseases during childhood . It is defined as collection of non-purulent effusion (mucoid or serous) in the middle ear space without signs of acute infection. It's synomus are serous otitis media, secretory otitis media or glue ear. Adenoid hypertrophy can cause mechanical obstruction of the Eustachian tube which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of OME.

Management of OME consisted of many varieties; 1- Auto inflation, 2- Medical treatment and 3- Surgical. Surgical treatment indicated in cases where the effusion does not resolve spontaneously or failed medical treatment for 3 months and the main purpose of surgery is to restore middle ear aeration. Treatment options are Adenoidectomy with or without Myringotomy or Myringotomy and Tympanostomy tube application.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of each surgical option in management of otitis media with effusion. This study will be carried out in ENT department of Assiut university hospital on 150 child diagnosed as persistent otitis media with effusion due to adenoid enlargement and they will be categorized randomly into three groups (50 cases per each). Group I will undergo Adenoidectomy alone, group II will undergo Adenoidectomy and Myringotomy and group III will undergo Adenoidectomy and Myringotomy and Tympanostomy tube application. All patients will be subjected to full ENT examination and audiological evaluation. Postoperative evaluation will be done for all patients for 3 months through clinical and audiological evaluation.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
