Speech disorder

This study tests a fully wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) that aims to decode attempted speech in real time for people with locked-in syndrome (LIS), often caused by ALS or stroke. The implant records brain signals from areas controlling the mouth and throat, then translat…

This early study tests a small, wireless brain implant designed to help people with severe speech problems communicate by thought. Four adults with conditions like locked-in syndrome or ALS will get the implant and learn to control it. The main goal is to see if the device is saf…

This trial tests whether a two-week tongue-strengthening exercise, done with a non-invasive device, can improve speech fluency in people with tongue-tie or slurred speech. The exercise relies on muscle resistance training, not medication or electronics. Researchers will measure c…

This study looks at whether posture and tongue position affect how children pronounce Hebrew sounds. Researchers will test if adding muscle-strengthening exercises to regular speech therapy helps kids learn correct pronunciation faster. About 80 children with and without speech i…

This study tests whether an AI-based app called HiDongDong can improve speech in children aged 2 to 14 who have trouble pronouncing words. Forty-eight children will either use the app at home for 20 minutes a day, five days a week, or receive standard speech therapy. The goal is …

This Phase 2 pilot study will test whether a single high dose of psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) combined with speech therapy can improve fluency and reduce struggle in 25 adults who stutter. Researchers will measure changes in stuttering severity and brain …

This study looks back at the medical records of 60 adults with head and neck cancer who received radiation therapy, with or without chemotherapy, and used a topical mouth rinse made from olive oil, betaine, and xylitol. The goal is to see how often severe mouth sores (oral mucosi…

This study looks at how often people develop speech or swallowing problems after a jaw-advancement surgery for obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will measure nasality, speech, and swallowing in 28 adults before and after surgery at five different times. The goal is to better u…

This study will follow 120 Mandarin-speaking children with autism and typically developing children to understand how speech develops over time. Researchers will use parent reports and play sessions to track language skills. The goal is to create models that help predict speech p…

This study will compare how well an AI program (Blings) measures speech clarity in 40 adults with speech disorders from stroke or other neurological conditions. Two speech therapists will also rate the same speech samples. The goal is to see if the AI can reliably replace or assi…
