NCT ID NCT05150093
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
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 is to better understand these conditions, not to test a new cure. The study is currently recruiting 120 adults aged 18 to 80 who are already scheduled for DBS surgery.
