NCT ID: NCT05698667 Completed - Oropharynx Cancer Clinical Trials

Outpatient Ultrasound for the Diagnostic Work-up of Oropharynx Cancer

Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study was to examine the detection rate and tumor size evaluation in patients with suspected oropharynx cancer using a new technique with transoral ultrasound of the oropharynx. The new technique was compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The study investigators included patients referred to a tertiary head & neck cancer center in Copenhagen, Denmark, with suspicion of oropharynx cancer. Patients supplied written informed consent and were included and ultrasound scanned with local anesthesia in the outpatient clinic. Blinded assessment of MRI's was performed for tumor detection and compared to ultrasound with the reference standard being histopathology biopsy results.

NCT ID: NCT05008107 Completed - Clinical trials for Surgical Procedure, Unspecified

Virtual Reality as a Perioperative Teaching Tool for Families

Start date: October 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Commonly, families and providers have turned to internet-based resources to provide insight as to the perioperative experience. Though there is a large amount of information that is available on the internet, medical information on the internet is of highly variable quality and the information may be conflicting or inaccurate. It is hard for even the savvy well-educated patient and family to navigate and sift through all the information available. Therefore, generic web-based information does not necessarily decrease patient and caregiver anxiety. As an alternative, the investigators propose an interactive teaching tool utilizing virtual reality that may provide a cost-efficient, content-rich supplement to the traditional phone or internet-based patient education. Virtual reality (VR) will be provided to families of patients undergoing ambulatory pediatric surgery. VR will provide personalized education to patients and their families about the entire continuum of the child's surgical experience. This will range from the hospital registration, the peri-operative experience, including the separation of the child from the parent in the pre-operative area and the anesthetic induction process, and the post-operative hospital ward. The virtual reality (VR) tool will also review the in-hospital post-operative recovery process. The patient will be shown this either via an oculus headset or using their own smartphone device. In addition to improving a parent's comprehension of what their child will experience, the investigators expect that the virtual reality tool may also improve patient and caregiver satisfaction with the overall perioperative experience.

NCT ID: NCT04204681 Completed - Children, Only Clinical Trials

Tonsillar Retractor-induced Subacute Submassive Tongue Edema

Start date: November 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aimed to detect tongue edema induced by the pressure exerted by tonsillar retractor; edema detection was made through tongue area measurement using ultrasonography (USG) in pediatric patients who underwent tonsillectomy surgeries.
