Descriptive In Vivo Study of Evaluating the Innervation of The Human Cricopharyngeal Muscle By The Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve and External Branch of The Superior Laryngeal Nerve

Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital·interventional·Posted May 4, 2016·Updated May 4, 2016

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating The NIM 3.0 Nerve Monitoring System for Larynx. Completed, enrolled 100 participants.

Detailed Summary

The investigators hypothesized that, external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) and/or recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) contribute to the motor function of the human cricopharyngeal muscle (CP). The investigators aimed to assess the contribution of the laryngeal nerves (EBSLN and RLN) to the motor activity of the cricopharyngeal muscle, during thyroidectomy with intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).

Interventions

The NIM 3.0 Nerve Monitoring Systemdevice

Electromyography recordings were accomplished with a pair of needle electrodes inserted through the CP muscle, which were plugged into the third and fourth channels of interface-connector box.The recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN), vagus nerve, external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve(EBSLN) and pharyngeal plexus were stimulated with a current of 1 mA and a frequency of 4 MHz and the event threshold at 100 microV.
