First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating and testing a new speech therapy program for people who feel a constant lump in their throat (globus pharyngeus). Ten adults will try the treatment to see if it reduces their throat discomfort and related anxiety. The goal is to develop a standard therapy that doctors can use to help ease this bothersome sensation.
