Groups2
Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | FGF-2 | FGF-2 given a minimum of 1 and maximum of 3 times within, approximately, 60 days.~FGF-2: The FGF-2 method of use comprises a pledget of gelatin foam with human fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) added to the pledget just before topical application to the tympanic membrane, and the use of Tisseel, a fibrin glue used for applications in ear surgery. | 23 | 40 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo | Equal concentration of saline is given a minimum of 1 and maximum of 3 times within, approximately, 60 days.~Placebo: Placebo comparator using a sterile saline solution. | 10 | 14 | OG001 |

Outcome
- Type
- SECONDARY
- Title
- Number of Patients With Normal Mobility of the Eardrum as Assessed by Tympanometry
- Description
Tympanometry is an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and the mobility of the eardrum. Any type of perforation, regardless of size, would cause the result of the tympanometry to be abnormal. We use this test to determine if the eardrum closed completely.
