U.S., Feb. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07431125) titled 'Surgical-Clinical Correlation in Unilateral Conductive Hearing Loss With Intact Tympanic Membrane' on Feb. 19.
Brief Summary: Unilateral conductive hearing loss (UCHL) in the presence of an intact tympanic membrane represents a diagnostic challenge in otologic practice. In the absence of middle ear effusion or tympanic membrane pathology, stapes fixation secondary to otosclerosis is often considered the most probable diagnosis. However, although otosclerosis is traditionally regarded as a bilateral disease, clinical presentation may be unilateral due to asymmetric disease progression or subclinical contralateral involvement.
