Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cough
Adult patients who are seen at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice and are determined to have neurogenic cough for which superior laryngeal nerve block is recommended will undergo this procedure under ultrasound guidance. Patients without neurogenic cough will also be recruited for ultrasound assessment to establish landmarks and normal variation.
Ultrasound for cough
Adult patients who are seen at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice and are determined to have neurogenic cough for which superior laryngeal nerve block is recommended will undergo this procedure under ultrasound guidance. Patients without neurogenic cough will also be recruited for ultrasound assessment to establish landmarks and normal variation. Patients will be assessed for their comfort with undergoing the procedure and clinicians will be surveyed on the ease and benefit of performing the procedure under ultrasound guidance.
Vocal Cord Atrophy
Adult patients with vocal fold atrophy, paresis, or paralysis diagnosed at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice who are planned to undergo injection laryngoplasty will be invited to take part in the study.
Ultrasound for vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold paresis/paralysis
Adult patients who are seen at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice and are determined to have vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold paresis/paralysis for whom injection laryngoplasty is recommended will undergo laryngeal ultrasound prior to the procedure to assess baseline anatomy as well as following the procedure (both immediately following the procedure as well as at follow-up visits) in order to assess the amount of injectate.
Vocal Cord Paresis
Adult patients with vocal fold atrophy, paresis, or paralysis diagnosed at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice who are planned to undergo injection laryngoplasty will be invited to take part in the study.
Ultrasound for vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold paresis/paralysis
Adult patients who are seen at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice and are determined to have vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold paresis/paralysis for whom injection laryngoplasty is recommended will undergo laryngeal ultrasound prior to the procedure to assess baseline anatomy as well as following the procedure (both immediately following the procedure as well as at follow-up visits) in order to assess the amount of injectate.
Vocal Cord Paralysis
Adult patients with vocal fold atrophy, paresis, or paralysis diagnosed at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice who are planned to undergo injection laryngoplasty will be invited to take part in the study.
Ultrasound for vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold paresis/paralysis
Adult patients who are seen at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice and are determined to have vocal fold atrophy or vocal fold paresis/paralysis for whom injection laryngoplasty is recommended will undergo laryngeal ultrasound prior to the procedure to assess baseline anatomy as well as following the procedure (both immediately following the procedure as well as at follow-up visits) in order to assess the amount of injectate.
Dysphagia
Adult patients referred to the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice for swallowing assessment will undergo standard medical history including collection of age, gender, occupation, characteristics of swallowing complaints, and prior evaluation and treatments. Adult patients without swallowing complaints will also be recruited to define normal anatomy and variation.
Ultrasound for dysphagia
Patients with and without swallowing complaints will be enrolled to assess their tongue, suprahyoid and infrahyoid musculature, including muscle identification, bulk and function.
Dysphonia
Adult patients referred to the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice for voice assessment will undergo standard medical history including collection of age, gender, occupation, characteristics of voice complaints, and prior evaluation and treatments. Additionally, patients diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia will be evaluated by ultrasound for the presence, size, and function of their suprahyoid musculature.
Ultrasound for dysphonia
Adult patients who are seen at the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice and are determined to have muscle tension dysphonia will undergo ultrasonography during their visit with laryngology or speech language pathology.
