ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding a condition called Necrotising Otitis Externa (NOE), which is a serious ear infection that can cause significant problems if not treated properly. The study is taking place at multiple locations in the UK and is currently active but not enrolling new participants. Researchers are looking at adult patients who are 18 years and older and have a clinical diagnosis of possible NOE, especially if they have had or will have a CT scan (a type of imaging test) as part of their regular medical care.

To participate in this trial, individuals must not have had a previous diagnosis of NOE and should be receiving their CT scan at one of the study sites. Participants can expect to be part of a thorough observation process that helps doctors understand and improve the treatment of this condition. This study aims to gather valuable information to enhance patient outcomes and care for those affected by NOE.
