LARYNGEAL DYSTONIA

This study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that gives real-time feedback to help people with laryngeal dystonia control voice spasms. About 40 adults with a specific type of voice disorder will try this non-invasive therapy. The goal is to reduce the number of voice breaks…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with laryngeal dystonia (a voice disorder). Ten adults with the condition will receive active, sham, and no stimulation in separate sessions. Researchers will measure voice quality usi…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve voice function in people with laryngeal dystonia, a condition that causes the vocal cords to spasm, leading to a breathy or strained voice. About 25 adults with the condition will receive …

This study looks at how gentle vibration on the throat affects brain networks in people with laryngeal dystonia, a condition causing voice spasms. Researchers will use brain scans and voice recordings to understand why some patients get temporary voice relief. The goal is to lear…

This study looks at how genetic risk factors and brain changes are linked in laryngeal dystonia, a voice disorder. Researchers will use brain scans, DNA testing, and behavioral tests in up to 410 people, including patients, their unaffected relatives, and people with similar voic…

This study looks at how the brain functions differently in people with laryngeal dystonia (a voice muscle spasm condition) and voice tremor (a shaking voice). Researchers will use brain scans like MRI and EEG to compare patients and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better under…

This study aims to better understand and classify different types of voice problems in people with laryngeal dystonia and voice tremor. Researchers will use voice tests and movement analysis to identify distinct symptom patterns. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide future …

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a treatment already used for movement disorders — affects voice and speech in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. Researchers will record brain signals during surgery and measure voice changes afterward. The goal …
