Effects of 100% Medical Grade Manuka Honey on Tympanic Membrane Reconstruction Healing.

The aim of the present study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the effect of 100% sterile Manuka honey on re-epithelialization of the tympanic membrane post Tympanoplasty compared to the control group. The investigation will involve 64 participants with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media of the mucosal type, who will be randomly put into two groups (intervention or control), where the intervention group will receive a dressing of 100% sterile Manuka honey during surgery. Results of this study will inform practitioners as to the potential benefits of 100% sterile Manuka honey on the re-epithelialization of the tympanic membrane.
