Steroid and enzyme injection for vocal cord lesions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if injecting a steroid combined with hyaluronidase into vocal cord lesions can help people with voice problems who cannot or will not do voice therapy. It's for those with small, non-cancerous growths who aren't candidates for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small, non-cancerous growth on your vocal cords that causes hoarseness or voice trouble
- You are not able to have surgery for the growth
- You cannot or choose not to do voice therapy, or voice therapy hasn't helped you
- You have no other voice box disorders
- You are not allergic to the injected medications (a skin test will confirm)

This trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during vocal cord surgery helps your voice heal faster and better. It is for adults with benign growths like polyps or nodules that haven't improved with voice therapy.
This study tests whether injecting a special solution made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) into your voice box can help improve voice problems from scars or thinning of the vocal folds. It is a simple injection procedure that may help your voice quality.
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.
This study tests different ways of using your voice to reduce pressure on vocal fold lesions caused by overuse. If you are between 18 and 40, have been diagnosed with such lesions, and are going to voice therapy, you may be able to join.
This study tests a voice implant device in people with permanent vocal cord weakness (UVFP) who have trouble closing their vocal cords. It aims to improve voice strength and reduce voice-related burden, while checking safety over the study period.
This trial compares two types of surgery for vocal cord cysts: one that uses a laser through a small scope passed through the nose while you are awake, and another that uses a tube placed in the throat under general anesthesia (the standard approach). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for removing the cyst and improving your voice.
