Bump the lump: A treatment for throat lump feeling
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.

Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older

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 trial studies whether using an external throat exerciser helps people with swallowing problems (dysphagia) move food more safely and reduce the risk of choking. You would do swallowing rehab exercises, with the goal of preventing aspiration (food or liquid going into the airway).
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 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.
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 whether stimulating the larynx (voice box area) can reduce cough that has lasted more than 8 weeks. It may help people whose cough is not clearly explained by infections, lung diseases, or other common causes.
