Spectroscopic Evaluation of Middle Ear Infection (Withdrawn)

NCT01485471 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2022-11-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Otitis media is more common in young children and it is estimated that 75% of all children experience at least one episode before the age of three. Otitis media is one of the common pediatric diagnoses and recurrent episodes account for the most commonly performed surgical procedure. Despite this a high degree of inaccuracy exists in diagnosis of this condition which depends on subjective assessment of the ear drum via direct visualization using an otoscope. Researcher can use Diffuse optical spectroscopy and diffuse optical imaging for the analysis of ear drum and the middle ear.
