NCT ID NCT05561920
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how people who had their voice box removed due to throat cancer produce a new voice. Researchers used a special high-speed camera to record vibrations in the throat and compared them to sound recordings. The goal was to better understand these substitute voices to improve speech therapy and quality of life for patients.
