Tokyo, Sept. 18 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000059107) titled 'Research Aiming to Identify Abnormal Internal Carotid Artery Course in Pharyngeal-Laryngeal Dysesthesia and Standardize Diagnostic Methods

-Research on Identifying Abnormal Internal Carotid Artery Course in Pharyngeal-Laryngeal Dysesthesia and Its Clinical Significance-' on Sept. 17.

Study Type: Observational

Primary Sponsor: Institute - National Hospital Organization Tokyo Medical Center National Institute of Sensory Organ

Condition: Condition - Pharyngeal Foreign Body Sensation Syndrome, Abnormal course of the internal carotid artery Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - Proposal for a diagnostic method to detect abnormal internal carotid artery changes associated with aging early on, based on pharyngeal dysesthesia symptoms, thereby preventing cerebral infarction. This proposal will enhance the diagnostic accuracy of pharyngeal dysesthesia-the sole symptom reported by patients with abnormal internal carotid artery course variations-promoting understanding of the disease concept. This will not only advance public health and longevity in Japan's aging society but also significantly reduce healthcare costs by suppressing cerebral infarction incidence. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
