U.S., Jan. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07343713) titled 'Correlation Between the Degree of Middle Ear Pressure and the Eustachian Tube Dimensions : Radiological Study' on Jan. 07.
Brief Summary: The eustachian tube (ET) as it is known has important tasks on middle ear function and physiology. Middle ear ventilation, drainage, and protection of the middle ear to pathogens are major functions of the eustachian tube. Earlier studies showed that the eustachian tubes were shorter and were more horizontally located in children than in adults. This condition might increase otitis media in children (1).
The angles relative to the plane of the eustachian tube have previously been measured in a lo...
