View clinical trials related to Globus Pharyngeus.
Filter by:A previous study completed in 2022 (NCT05158179) was conducted using cohorts of healthy controls, and adults with general laryngopharyngeal disorders. This study will expand on the previous research to include a separate cohort of adults being seen in clinic for an existing laryngopharyngeal disorder resulting from previous radiation or other cancer treatments.
Purpose of the study is the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Laryngopharyngeal Measure of Perceived Sensation (T-LUMP) Questionnaire, so that it would be used as an assessment tool for Turkish globus pharyngeus patients.
Globus pharyngeus or sensation may be defined as a feeling of something a lump in the throat without dysphagia. Kinesio tex tape is a medical tap developed by Dr. Kase for therapeutic purposes and has been widely used in physical therapy applications in recent years. Although it is not a treatment with full consensus, the patient's complaints can be corrected with a small number of different therapy techniques or regulations on life.
The aim of this study is to test the influence of manual cervical traction and chest stabilization maneuvers on pressures in upper and lower esophageal sphincters.
It is well known that 'globus sensation in throat' is caused by the chronic irritation and inflammation of oral, pharyngeal, or laryngeal mucosa, such as laryngopharyngeal reflux and chronic postnasal drip. Xerostomia and pharyngoxerosis due to salivary hypofunction also proved to induce the mucosal change of the oral cavity and pharynx. However, no previous studies have documented the prevalence of salivary hypofunction in patients with globus pharyngeus. Through this clinical investigation, we hypothesized that the salivary hypofunction might be one of the leading cause of globus pharyngeus.
