First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares voice therapy delivered in-person versus via telehealth for adults aged 55 and older with age-related voice problems. Thirty participants will receive four sessions of PhoRTE® voice exercises either face-to-face or through video calls. Researchers will measure voice quality, patient satisfaction, and quality of life to see if remote therapy works just as well.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Phonation Resistance Training Exercises (PhoRTE®) – a behavioral voice therapy program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote voice therapy is a good alternative to in-person sessions, making treatment more accessible and affordable for seniors with voice problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Telehealth may not work as well for those with limited tech skills or poor internet.
