Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the application of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) with normal saline for the healing of chronic tympanic membrane (TM) perforations. This is an extension of a prior study.
The main question it aims to answer is: Will modifications to our prior surgical trial provide higher success rates in obtaining complete closure of chronic tympanic membrane perforations? Twenty participants will be randomized in a controlled study to FGF2 or saline in a 3:1 ratio and the total tympanic membrane closure compared.
