NCT ID NCT05237648
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving patients online educational modules before starting voice therapy helps them stay engaged and attend more sessions. Researchers enrolled 42 adults with voice problems (dysphonia) who were recommended for voice therapy. The goal was to see if these modules improve understanding and participation, potentially leading to better voice outcomes.
