What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This pilot study will test whether using ultrasound during common office procedures for voice and swallowing problems is helpful and practical. Researchers will enroll 200 adults with conditions like chronic cough, vocal cord issues, or swallowing difficulties. They will measure how easy the ultrasound is for doctors to use and how comfortable patients feel during the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ultrasound guidance
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using ultrasound makes certain throat procedures easier and more comfortable for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving treatment effectiveness. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
