NCT ID NCT04028674
Summary
This study is testing the safety of a new 'laryngeal pacing' device for people with paralyzed vocal cords. The device uses mild electrical stimulation to help open the vocal cords during breathing, aiming to improve airflow without damaging the person's voice or ability to swallow. The research involves a small group of 8 participants to see if this approach is safe and provides initial clues about its effectiveness.
