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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You feel a lump or tightness in your throat that isn't caused by pain or trouble swallowing
- You do not have a diagnosed swallowing disorder

This study checks how well your throat senses things (like touch or irritation) using a small camera and other tests. It includes people with various throat or voice conditions, head and neck cancer survivors who have finished radiation, and healthy volunteers, all aged 18 or younger.
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 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 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.
