NCT ID NCT05245942
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is tracking the safety and performance of a device called ECE50 used during routine medical exams. It involves 384 adults who need a diagnosis for voice box muscle issues, like vocal fold paresis or laryngeal dystonia. The goal is to see if the device works as well as standard tests and to standardize how it is used.
