At-Home Throat Lump Sensation (Globus) Assessment
At-home endoscopic assessment for the sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat.
The sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat (globus) is a common complaint; it can be related to causes such as reflux, post-nasal drip or muscle tension. Although the complaint usually stems from benign causes, an assessment is important to rule out an underlying problem.
During the at-home examination, the throat, larynx and vocal cords are examined in detail with a portable endoscopic imaging system; whether an organic cause is present is assessed and a suitable treatment approach is determined.
Who this is suitable for
- A long-standing sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat
- Throat complaints that may be related to reflux or post-nasal drip
- A sticking sensation felt without pain while swallowing
- Complaints accompanied by hoarseness or frequent throat clearing
When this isn't suitable
- Progressively worsening true difficulty swallowing solid foods with weight loss (further testing takes priority)
- Cases accompanied by shortness of breath
- Severe pain starting after swallowing an actual foreign object such as a fish bone
