Essential tremor is when a part of a persons body such as a hand or arm is unsteady or shaky. Vocal tremor is when people may experience an unsteady or shaky voice. This condition may impact the mouth and throat muscles. This study will test whether people receiving focused ultrasound for treatment of essential tremor show improved voice tremor. People in this study will answer questionnaires and be observed for tremor in the face, jaw, tongue, and throat as well as using audio recordings and participant self-reporting. For those who are willing, the study will also examine the speech structures affected by tremors using nasoendoscopy (a procedure to look inside the throat and nose). Participation in the study requires some visits to a study clinic and completion of other activities will be done over the phone and online to track the health of participants.

Evaluation of Sensory Tricks in Individuals with Laryngeal Dystonia or Essential Vocal Tremor
(IRB#: IRB_00130977)
Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is a rare neurogenic voice disorder that results in an intermittently strained-strangled or breathy voice quality during speaking. Essential tremor of the voice (ETv) is another neurogenic voice disorder typically perceived as a shaky voice quality but sometimes associated with a similar voice quality to LD, making it challenging for clinicians to distinguish these voice disorders. A correct diagnosis is essential for accurate and effective treatment of these voice disorders. However, clinical voice experts often confuse these disorders and frequently disagree with each other when judging voice quality or observing speech structures. Development of clinical tools that help clinicians make the correct diagnosis of these disorders is a priority. Therefore, we propose studying a characteristic of dystonias, sensory tricks. A sensory trick is a phenomenon diagnostic of dystonias described as a short-term improvement of symptoms due to sensory cues like touching or supporting a body part or being distracted by a sound. This phenomenon is well studied in other kinds of dystonia but has not been systematically evaluated in LD. This pilot study aims to evaluate whether sensory tricks improve voice symptoms in those with LD compared to those with ETv. If successful, outcomes will help identify specific sensory trick(s) that most clearly change LD symptoms and show promise for improving correct diagnosis of those with LD. The sensory tricks studied should be accessible and affordable for use during assessment by clinicians to help distinguish those with LD from ETv. Importantly, findings will inform future studies to improve utilization by clinicians.

Functional Constipation Study - Clinical Trial using Prucalopride compared to placebo
(IRB#: IRB_00141463)
We are asking you to allow your child to take part in a research study for prucalopride (called the study drug) because they have been diagnosed with functional constipation. Constipation happens when your child has fewer than 3 bowel movements a week. Functional constipation is a condition in which your child withholds stool, usually because they are afraid of the pain associated with passing of hard stools or due to social reasons. It is not due to a medical problem. When your child holds stool much longer than normal, this can cause the stool to become harder and packed (impacted) in the rectum. As a result, your child may have difficulties in passing stool. The study drug was approved in the United States in 2018 to treat adults with constipation. It is now being looked at in children with functional constipation.

Registry for Adenomas of the PItuitary and related Disorders (RAPID)
(IRB#: IRB_00144784)
This study is a surgical registry for patients who undergo surgical resection of pituitary adenomas. The registry allows surgeons and researchers to obtain more accurate data from patients because it is prospective, meaning it data is entered as the patient is treated. One problem with all prior studies is that patient charts are reviewed after treatment which can result in inaccurate data and bias. Clinical data such as visual function, endocrinology function, surgery time, and length of stay will be acquired in addition to other variables. Samples of removed tumor will be stored in the Huntsman Tumor Biobank. Patients will also be provided quality-of-life surveys, brief evaluations done at the time of clinic follow-up or by email, that allows surgeons to better understand how surgical treatment is helping their patients' life at home, ability to reenter the workplace, etc.The purpose of this study is to evaluate best practices, improve the accuracy of epidemiology information, and improve patient outcomes. This registry is part of a multicenter study where the top centers of excellence in the treatment of pituitary adenoma are collaborating to study their data together. Future plans for the registry are to expand to other types of skull base tumors to better understand patient treatment and improve outcomes.
