NCT ID NCT07650734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether posture and tongue position affect how children pronounce Hebrew sounds. Researchers will test if adding muscle-strengthening exercises to regular speech therapy helps kids learn correct pronunciation faster. About 80 children with and without speech issues will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- speech therapy and muscle strengthening exercises
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward adding simple muscle exercises to speech therapy to help children pronounce sounds more quickly.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants. It focuses on Hebrew sounds, so results may not apply to other languages. The intervention is non-invasive, so risks are minimal.
