What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intraocular pressure after neck extension

    Intraocular pressure after neck extension during palatoplasty

    Measured: at 5 minutes after the position change (neck extension)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intraocular pressure 10 minutes after anesthetic induction

    Intraocular pressure 10 minutes after anesthetic induction during palatoplasty

    Measured: at 10 minutes after anesthetic induction (supine position)

  2. Intraocular pressure at end of surgery

    Intraocular pressure at end of surgery with neck extension

    Measured: immmediately after skin closure (neck extension)

  3. Intraocular pressure 5 minutes after supine position

    Intraocular pressure 5 minutes after supine position

    Measured: at 5 minutes after the position change to the supine position (after the end of the surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cleft Palate, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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.

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?

Intraocular pressure after neck extension (time frame: at 5 minutes after the position change (neck extension)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04683978, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
