Force sensor study for laryngeal surgery patients
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a force sensor tool used during laryngeal surgery (surgery on the voice box) via direct laryngoscopy (a tube inserted through the mouth). It may help surgeons apply the right amount of force to reduce tongue injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had part or all of your tongue removed (glossectomy)
- You have not had an injury to the nerve controlling your tongue (hypoglossal nerve)
- You are able to return for follow-up visits after the procedure

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 study looks at how well a standard laryngoscope blade works for guiding a breathing tube during anesthesia in people who have no expected airway problems. It aims to see if the blade fits well and works as intended.
This study tests a special device to monitor a nerve near the voice box during surgery, to help protect it. It aims to reduce risk of voice problems after surgery.
This study tests a device that monitors a nerve near your voice box during thyroid surgery. The goal is to help protect your voice by giving the surgeon live feedback on the nerve's location and function.
This trial tests a new device that monitors the nerve controlling your voice during thyroid surgery, to help reduce the risk of voice changes. It may be an option if you're having surgery for a thyroid condition.
This study tests whether a noninvasive breathing support device can detect vocal cord movement problems in children who had heart or airway surgery. It may avoid the need for a scope test.
