Nerve surgery offers new hope for patients who Can't speak or breathe easily
NCT ID NCT02400008
Summary
This study tested a specialized nerve transfer surgery for adults with both vocal cords paralyzed in a closed position, causing voice and breathing problems. The surgery reroutes nerves from the diaphragm and tongue to try to restore movement to the laryngeal muscles that control the vocal cords. The goal was to improve patients' ability to speak and breathe without needing a permanent tracheostomy tube.
