Force Sensor Study
NCT07434583 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This research is to understand more about the forces that are involved on the tongue and other oropharyngeal structures during laryngeal surgery. This information will be used to determine if these forces can affect outcomes (pain, numbness, taste, etc) and whether factors such as procedure type, surgeon experience (i.e. resident, fellow, attending), and choice of surgical equipment affect these forces. This information may be used to reduce these forces and prevent these issues from happening during certain laryngeal surgeries. For the first 50 patients, force measurements will be taken and correlated to outcome measures . Surgeons will be blinded to the force measurements intra-operatively. For the next 50 patients, surgeons will be given force measurements in real-time intra-operatively allowing adjustments to be made. The impact of this adjustment on outcomes will be determined.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07434583
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07434583 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, San Francis, which has 1,574 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Post-operative Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Direct laryngoscopy force modulation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07434583 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
