Throat vibrations may calm voice spasms by rewiring brain networks
NCT ID NCT07443891
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a gentle vibration applied to the throat affects brain activity and voice in people with laryngeal dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary voice spasms. Researchers will use brain scans and voice recordings to understand why some people get relief from this simple technique. The goal is to learn more about how the treatment works, not to test a cure.
