NCT ID NCT04006197

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 100 adults with irregular patches on their vocal cords. Researchers used a special camera called a laryngostroboscope to see how the vocal cords vibrate, then compared those results with standard tissue analysis. The goal was to see if the camera test alone could accurately diagnose these irregularities, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
