Creatine for a stronger voice in seniors? small study tests the idea
NCT ID NCT05856916
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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). Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either creatine or a placebo. 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.
