Laryngeal Diseases Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Office-based KTP and CO2 Laser Outcomes in Patients With Vocal Cord Lesions.
The purpose of this study is to test the outcomes of a CO2 laser device called AcuPulse Duo on vocal lesions and compare them to the most commonly used Aura KTP laser in order to determine which device has the best results. The CO2 laser device is an already FDA approved device. However, there have been no studies comparing the two devices for this use.

Primary | Absolute change from baseline in mucosal wave grade | Absolute change from baseline in mucosal wave grade using videostroboscopy on each treated vocal fold 2-3 months after the treatment for both groups. Videostroboscopy is a standard of care procedure for patients with voice problems and would be performed regardless of the subject's participation in the study. | Treatment Visit (Day 0), Follow up Visit (6-12 weeks) | |
Primary | Absolute and percentage change from baseline | Absolute and percentage change from baseline in the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) score 2-3 months after the treatment. Measured by Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10), a self reported questionnaire assessing the frequency of characteristics of their voice and the effects their voice has on their lives. 10 statements using a scale where 0 is "Never" and 4 is "Always" | Treatment Visit (Day 0), Follow up Visit (6-12 weeks) | |
Primary | Change in Physician's satisfaction | In using a self reported questionnaire to determine how easy it was to use the CO2 laser. Questions asked: Ease of use, completeness of treatment, bleeding issues, complications and case time from laser start to finish. | Treatment Visit (Day 0), Follow up Visit (6-12 weeks) | |
Primary | Change in Patient's discomfort | Patient comfort during the procedure will be measured by Patient Discomfort questionnaire. (All lesion types). The Patient-Comfort Scale is a 5 scale rating: 1- no, 2- minimal, 3-mild, 4-moderate, 5-severe. | Treatment Visit (Day 0), Follow up Visit (6-12 weeks) | |
Primary | Change in Lesion regression | Lesion regression (based on endoscopic measurement technique) Stills from the laryngoscopic exam will be imported and measured into the Image J software. | Treatment Visit (Day 0), Follow up Visit (6-12 weeks) |
