Swallowing test to predict vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks whether a simple swallowing test can forecast vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery, compared with a camera exam of the throat. If predictions are accurate, it may help doctors prevent or plan treatment for swallowing and voice problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a new ultrasound score can help diagnose swallowing disorders in patients who are difficult to wean from a breathing tube and have a tracheostomy. It may help doctors better assess swallowing without more invasive tests.
This study looks at ways to predict breathing-related complications after lung surgery. By participating, you may help doctors better identify who might need extra care after surgery, which could lead to better recovery and safety for future patients.
This trial tests a new way to measure how well your throat and voice box work during swallowing. It may help doctors better understand swallowing problems and improve care.
This study tests a new way to check how your vocal cords are working after neck surgery. Instead of painful scopes, they use a safe ultrasound and voice recordings to track your recovery during speech therapy.
This study looks at whether using a capped breathing tube for about 48 hours is safe and whether it fits with swallowing training after head and neck surgery. It may help people transition more safely from a breathing tube back toward normal swallowing and breathing.
This study tests whether a noninvasive breathing support device can detect vocal cord movement problems in children who had heart or airway surgery. It may avoid the need for a scope test.
