Ultrasound for office throat procedures study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how useful ultrasound is during common throat procedures done in the doctor's office. It may help with nerve blocks, injections for voice or swallow problems, or just to learn more about throat anatomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You do not have an open neck wound or a tracheostomy
- You fall into one of these groups: have a chronic cough needing a nerve block, have vocal cord weakness or thinning needing an injection, have trouble swallowing, or are being checked for voice issues
- Or you have no swallowing or cough problems and want to help understand normal anatomy

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at how people sense things in their throat and voice box. It includes healthy volunteers and people with throat/voice issues, including head and neck cancer survivors who have finished radiation. The goal is to better understand these sensations.
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 study uses ultrasound to check the muscles that help you swallow and move. It aims to see if measuring these muscles can predict swallowing problems and muscle loss after being on a breathing machine.
This study uses ultrasound and voice recordings to check how well your vocal cords work after neck surgery. It may help improve speech therapy follow-up.
This study uses ultrasound to look at muscles under your chin and understand how they relate to swallowing problems after a long period on a breathing tube.
