Mechanisms Preventing Pharyngeal Reflux
The overall goal is to define and characterize the manometric characteristics of UES incompetence associated with objectively documented pharyngeal reflux. The investigators will use endoscopic reflux detection as gold standard.

Velopharyngeal Insufficiency, Velopharyngeal Incompetence Due to Cleft Palate
Expiratory Muscle Strength Training for Hypernasal Speech in Children
When the soft palate does not move enough because of a cleft palate or for unknown reasons, this can lead to a speech difference called velopharyngeal insufficiency.

- Trial name
- NCT05492266
