Summary
This study tests whether taking creatine supplements daily for 10 weeks can improve voice quality in people aged 65 and older who have age-related voice changes (presbyphonia).

Researchers will measure changes in voice handicap, vocal cord movement, and airflow to see if the supplement makes a difference.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
creatine monohydrate (a dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, safe supplement to help older adults maintain a stronger, clearer voice.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants. The study is currently suspended, so results may be delayed or never come. Creatine is generally safe, but benefits for voice are unproven.
