NCT ID NCT07677501
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (like phonating through a pipette) with breathing exercises (pursed-lip, segmental, and diaphragmatic breathing) can improve how long conservatory students can sustain a note and their overall lung function. Participants will do these exercises twice a week for six weeks. The goal is to see if these simple, non-drug techniques can enhance vocal performance and respiratory health in voice students.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance

- What this could lead to
- If effective, these simple exercises could help singers and voice professionals improve vocal stamina and respiratory health without medication or surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study in healthy students, so results may not apply to people with voice disorders. The exercises may offer only modest benefits.
