Voice Disorders
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Voice Disorders focused on measuring Voice, Biomarker, Airway Reconstruction
Eligibility Criteria
Study Patients
Inclusion Criteria:
- Ages of 3-30 years,
- No prior airway surgery
- Able to undergo the evaluation protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
1.) Patients who have undergone any prior airway reconstruction and/or have a disability that precludes them from completing the evaluation
Control Patients
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age of 3-30 years
- No prior history of intubation injury or airway/laryngeal surgery
- Normal hearing
- Normal voice assessment performed by a certified speech-language pathologist 5.) Undergoing a non-airway surgical procedure such as adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, ear tubes, and neck mass removal.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has had airway or laryngeal surgery
- History of a voice or hearing disorder
- History of neonatal intubation over 14 days
- Have a disability that precludes them from completing the evaluation

Study: Airway Reconstruction Patients
Control: Normal Airway Patients
These participants have significant airway abnormalities that require invasive surgery, such as Laryngotracheoplasty, to rectify, and whose voice quality may suffer as a result of the surgery. The goal of this study is to improve voice outcomes of these patients, and their clinical data will be collected.
These participants have normal airways and voice who will undergo a microlaryngoscopy and voice evaluation, the data from which will be compared to study patients.
