NCT ID NCT06975046
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a database of vocal health in people aged 4 to 65 with no voice problems, and compare them to children with voice disorders. Participants will perform simple voice tasks into a device that measures airflow and pressure. The goal is to find the best way to assess pediatric voices and understand the differences between healthy and unhealthy voices.
