U.S., Aug. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07149116) titled 'Intratracheal Tracheostomy Sealing - A Clinical Feasibility Study' on Aug. 08.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate a new treatment method for tracheostomies - the term for the opening you have in your neck.
The treatment method seals the stoma tract from within the trachea. The aim is to improve lung function and voice quality, as well as to promote wound healing.
