First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to see if online speech therapy works as well as face-to-face sessions for children aged 5 to 11 with repaired cleft palate. Sixty-four children will receive 30-minute speech therapy twice a week for 10 weeks, either online or in person. Researchers will measure improvements in speech accuracy and understandability to compare the two methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
speech therapy (online or face-to-face)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that online speech therapy is a convenient and effective option for children with cleft palate, expanding access to care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy is behavioral, not a medical treatment, so improvements may be modest.
