Laser vs. standard tools for benign voice box growths
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares using two types of diode laser (980 nm and 450 nm) to traditional cold instruments for removing non-cancerous growths on the voice box. The goal is to see which approach works better based on the type of growth, patient factors, and laser settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a non-cancerous growth on your voice box (benign laryngeal lesion).
- You cannot have or have ever had a cancerous growth on your voice box.

This trial compares two ways to remove a vocal cord cyst: through the nose with a laser while you're awake, or through the mouth with a microscope while you're asleep. It tests which method is safer and works better for your voice.
This trial compares two treatments—CO2 laser surgery through the mouth versus one-vocal-cord irradiation—for early-stage larynx (voice box) cancer. It aims to see which option better preserves voice quality after treatment.
This study compares using a diode laser versus a medicine called bleomycin to treat infantile hemangiomas (red birthmarks) in babies. The goal is to see which treatment works better and is safer for young children.
This study looks at blood test results in people who have growths or lesions on their vocal cords. Researchers want to understand if certain markers in your blood can help explain what causes these lesions and how severe they might be.
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.
This trial compares two tools (LigaSure and bipolar diathermy) used during thyroid removal to see which works better. It may help if you need part or all of your thyroid taken out for a non-cancerous or low-risk cancerous condition.
