Abstract
A double-blind trial was carried out comparing S-carboxymethylcysteine (S-CMC) with inert placebo in the treatment of glue ear (Chronic seromucinous otitis media) in 52 children who had not previously undergone surgery for the condition. The results, analyzed after 3 mo. of treatment failed to demonstrate a significant reduction in the number of children receiving S-CMC who eventually required surgery for the condition.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
