U.S., June 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07024069) titled 'Protocol for Tongue Elastography and Ultrasound Markers' on May 28.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this observational is to methodologically assess the standardisation and reliability of a protocol of ultrasound lingual markers, including tongue shear-wave elastography, attenuation indexes, and echo intensity in adult healthy subjects.
The main goals are to create a standardized protocol and its intra- et inter-rater reliability, in order to gather some data in a non-pathological population. This protocol will be used in further studies in the context of tongue fat accumulation, such as in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
