Summary

This early study tested a special artificial larynx with valves in 10 adults who had severe swallowing troubles. The goal was to see if the device could help them swallow safely and possibly allow them to close their tracheotomy. The study focused on checking breathing and using a camera to see the throat, but it was a very small first step to explore the idea.
