Comparing two ways to inject steroids for throat narrowing
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests two methods of injecting triamcinolone (a steroid) into the narrowed part of the throat (subglottic stenosis) to see which works better: one guided by a camera during an endoscopy, the other guided by ultrasound. It may help people who have trouble breathing or a hoarse voice due to this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have symptoms like trouble breathing or a hoarse voice.
- You are not pregnant or nursing.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or bleeding problems.
- You are not allergic to lidocaine, midazolam, or triamcinolone (steroid).
- You can stop blood-thinning medicines before the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrowed windpipe caused by injury, trauma, or long-term breathing tube use. The goal is to find which approach works best for patients who need surgery for severe or moderate narrowing.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
This trial compares two methods (a speaking valve trial vs. a capping trial) to help stroke patients with a tracheostomy safely remove their trach tube. It tests which method works better to prepare you for breathing on your own.
This study tests whether giving steroids after a procedure to open your windpipe can reduce the chance that the narrowing comes back. If you have this condition, the trial is looking for people who are healthy enough to take part.
This trial studies genetic changes in people with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe). It compares two treatments: wedge resection (cutting out the narrow part) and radial incision (cutting to open it up). This may help doctors choose the best treatment in the future.
This trial tests a steroid medication (corticosteroids) to reduce swelling in the voice box after a breathing tube is taken out. It may help improve swallowing and reduce the risk of food or drink going into the lungs.
