    measuring 2 points the first is the intersegmental distance in (mm) and the second is the alveolar width in (mm)

    Measured: 3 -4 months

  2. extraoral measurements

    • Nostril height in (mm)
    • Nasal dome height in (mm)
    • Columella height in( mm)
    • Nostril basal width in (mm)
    • Nostril width in (mm)

    Measured: 3-4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nasoalveolar molding appliance and digital nasoalveolar molding appliance in people with Evaluation, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

intraoral measurements (time frame: 3 -4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Oct 2024.
