View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This purpose of this study is to investigate whether performing sublingual massages after frenotomy reduces the recurrence of ankyloglossia (e.g., "tongue-tie". After consent from the parents or guardians, infants who received underwent frenotomy will be randomized to either complete sublingual massages according to a specified description and schedule, or they will be randomized to the control group where they will be instructed to perform no massages. The main question to answer is do these massages reduce the likelihood of tongue-tie recurrence or not. Secondary question is will there be any significant difference on feeding practice or experience in infants who undergo massages compared to those who do not.
