Tympanostomy Tubes Versus Eustachian Tube Dilation

NCT03886740 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2023-02-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether tympanostomy with pressure equalization tube placement or Eustachian tube (ET) dilation is superior at reducing symptoms of patients with ET dysfunction.

Given the apparent promise of Eustachian tube dilation and the lack of head to head comparison to the more traditional tympanostomy tube, this study seeks to compare them in a head to head manner in order to assess superiority in regards to ETDQ-7 and tympanogram improvements.

Conditions

  • Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
  • Eustachian Tube Dysfunction of Left Ear
