First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a numbing injection (nerve block) given during vocal cord surgery can reduce pain, coughing, and improve voice recovery afterward. About 28 adults with benign vocal cord growths will receive either the numbing medicine or a saltwater placebo. Researchers will track pain scores, cough severity, and voice quality in the days after surgery.
