Evaluating the Use of a Device Called Impulse Oscillometry in Participants With Vocal Cord Disorders or Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted in subjects with vocal cord disorders and whether these measurements are different when compared to subjects with asthma.

Subjects with a diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction Subjects with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction (also called inducible laryngeal obstruction). Some subjects will have concomitant diagnosis of asthma. |
Device: Impulse Oscillometer
The tremoFlo C-100 Airwave Oscillometry System is intended to measure respiratory system impedance using the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean respiratory system impedance [Single measurement, approximately day 1]
The oscillometer will collect an airway impedance measurement which is made up of multiple variables.
