This study tests whether ultrasound (sound wave imaging) can help doctors do procedures in the throat more safely and accurately. It may help people with chronic cough, voice problems, or swallowing issues.
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.
This study tests a treatment for people who feel like there's a lump in their throat, called globus pharyngeus. If you have this sensation but no swallowing problems, you may be able to join.
This early study uses brain and voice-related testing to better understand what is happening in the brain in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. The results may help scientists learn more about these conditions and how they differ from healthy voices.
This study tests a device and exercises designed to improve or assess the swallowing process. It uses measurements taken through the nose to understand how the throat and swallowing muscles work.
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.
