Clinical Trial: Ergonomic Evaluation of Microscopic Ear Surgery With Exoskeleton: A Single Site Non-blinded Study

U.S., Nov. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07919080) titled 'Ergonomic Evaluation of Microscopic Ear Surgery With Exoskeleton: A Single Site Non-blinded Study' on Sept. 28.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn whether an exoskeleton system can reduce musculoskeletal strain and pain during microscopic ear surgery in ENT surgeons performing tympanomastoid and related microscopic ear procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the use of an exoskeleton reduce musculoskeletal strain (measured via surface EMG activity) during surgery? Does the use of an exoskeleton reduce subjective pain scores in the neck, back, and shoulders during surgery?
