Brain zaps for voice relief: new trial targets laryngeal dystonia
NCT ID NCT06830174
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve voice quality in people with laryngeal dystonia (spasmodic dysphonia). Ten participants will receive active, sham, and no stimulation to compare effects. The goal is to see if targeting multiple brain areas can ease voice symptoms.
