NCT ID NCT06593860
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a remote speech therapy program for 32 Korean-speaking people with Parkinson's disease and their families. The therapy includes 16 sessions over four weeks, plus daily home practice, to improve speech clarity. The goal is to see if this culturally adapted approach can help patients communicate better and improve their quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Remote speech rehabilitation (speech therapy and family education/training)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a culturally tailored speech therapy model that improves communication for Korean-speaking Parkinson's patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The therapy requires high-speed internet and daily practice, which may be challenging for some.
