Summary

This study explores whether adding guided meditation through a virtual reality headset at the start of voice therapy sessions can help people with voice disorders learn and retain treatment better. Sixty participants will use the TRIPP app on a Meta Quest 2 headset to meditate before their regular voice therapy. Researchers will measure changes in voice quality and how much the voice problem affects daily life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Meditation via immersive virtual reality (TRIPP app on Meta Quest 2 headset)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to boost the benefits of voice therapy for people with voice disorders and anxiety.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The meditation and VR approach may not improve voice outcomes more than standard therapy alone.
