ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how using vibration and augmented reality (AR) can help reduce anxiety and pain for patients undergoing certain procedures for throat-related issues, such as vocal fold polyps or vocal cord paralysis. In-office procedures are a safe and cost-effective way to treat these conditions, but some patients may struggle with discomfort or anxiety during the treatment. The trial will compare how patients feel during these procedures with and without the use of vibration and AR, looking at both their personal reports of pain and anxiety, as well as physiological signs of stress, like heart rate changes.

To participate in this study, patients should be between the ages of 65 and 74 and must be scheduled for an office-based throat procedure at the study site. There are no specific exclusions, so if you meet the age requirement and are having a procedure done, you could be eligible. Participants can expect to share their experiences through surveys and have their physiological responses monitored during the procedure, helping researchers understand how these new techniques might improve comfort and tolerance during treatment.
