LARYNGEAL DYSTONIA

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve voice quality in people with laryngeal dystonia (spasmodic dysphonia). Ten adults with the condition will receive active, sham, and no stimulation to see if the treatment helps. The goal i…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve voice function in people with laryngeal dystonia, a condition that causes the vocal cords to spasm, leading to a strained or breathy voice. About 25 adults with the condition will receive …

This study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that gives real-time feedback to help people with laryngeal dystonia control voice spasms. Researchers will enroll 40 adults with adductor laryngeal dystonia. The goal is to reduce voice breaks and improve speaking quality using a…

This study looks at how brain changes and genetic factors are linked in laryngeal dystonia, a voice disorder. Researchers will use brain scans and DNA tests in up to 410 people, including patients, their relatives, and those with similar voice problems. The goal is to find marker…

This study uses brain scans like MRI and EEG to find out what makes laryngeal dystonia and voice tremor different in the brain. Researchers will compare brain activity in people with these voice disorders and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions, …

This study looks at how gentle vibrations on the throat change brain activity and voice quality 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 study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a treatment already used for movement disorders — affects voice and speech in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. Researchers will record brain signals during surgery and measure voice changes afterward. The goal …

This study aims to better understand and classify different types of voice problems in people with laryngeal dystonia and voice tremor. Researchers will use voice tests and movement analysis to identify distinct symptom patterns. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide future …
