Clinical Trial: MRI Assessment of Velopharyngeal Anatomy After Modified Furlow-Buccinator Flap in Late Primary Palate Repair

U.S., April 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07514091) titled 'MRI Assessment of Velopharyngeal Anatomy After Modified Furlow-Buccinator Flap in Late Primary Palate Repair' on March 28.

Brief Summary: The goal of this case series study is to learn if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show how well the palate and throat muscles work at rest and during speech after late cleft palate repair. The surgery uses a technique in which the muscle from the cheek is used to close the gap and repair the cleft and therefore improve speech. The study will answer the question of whether this technique will provide better closure and improved speech in the participants who have not received early treatment. ...
