NCT ID NCT07107243

First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a non-invasive method—using a speaking valve and measuring air pressure—can accurately predict if the upper airway is open in people with a long-term tracheostomy. About 300 participants will have both the new test and a standard scope exam to see how well the new method works. If successful, it could reduce the need for uncomfortable and risky bronchoscopy procedures.
