Your voice may reveal hidden throat disease
NCT ID NCT06161077

Summary
This study explores whether regular voice recordings can help predict disease severity in people with laryngotracheal stenosis, a condition that narrows the airway. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze voice changes and see if they can forecast when a dilation procedure is needed. The goal is to develop a remote monitoring tool that reduces unnecessary surgeries and improves patient quality of life.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could create a simple, non-invasive way to monitor disease progression and predict when dilation is needed, improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with 100 participants. Voice changes may not reliably predict disease severity, and the tool may not work for all patients.
