Steroid treatment after surgery for idiopathic subglottic stenosis
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving steroids after a procedure to open your windpipe can reduce the chance that the narrowing comes back. If you have this condition, the trial is looking for people who are healthy enough to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (a narrowing of your windpipe with no known cause).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are expected to live at least 6 more months.
- You are able to carry out your daily activities (performance status 0 or 1).
- You have not had certain other causes of windpipe narrowing, like from a breathing tube, trauma, or certain diseases.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a steroid medication (corticosteroids) to reduce swelling in the voice box after a breathing tube is taken out. It may help improve swallowing and reduce the risk of food or drink going into the lungs.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrowed windpipe caused by injury, trauma, or long-term breathing tube use. The goal is to find which approach works best for patients who need surgery for severe or moderate narrowing.
This trial studies genetic changes in people with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe). It compares two treatments: wedge resection (cutting out the narrow part) and radial incision (cutting to open it up). This may help doctors choose the best treatment in the future.
This trial tests whether soaking the breathing tube in a steroid solution before surgery can prevent a sore throat after gallbladder removal. If it works, it could reduce post-surgery throat discomfort.
This study looks at how your voice sounds to help doctors better understand laryngotracheal stenosis, a narrowing of the windpipe and voice box. You'll use a phone app to record your voice, which may help improve future care for people with this condition.
