Recruiting studies
- NCT07180628Recruiting
Brain study of speech in adults who stutter
This study uses brain scans to look at how the brain's speech circuits work in adults who stutter. Researchers hope to better understand the brain activity behind stuttering, which could lead to improved treatments.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT06098482Recruiting
Testing speech understanding with a mobile app for hearing device users
This study uses a smartphone app to test how well adults who use hearing aids or cochlear implants can understand speech. It aims to see if the app is a reliable way to measure hearing performance, which could make future check-ups easier and more convenient.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07039084Recruiting
Tablet for helping children with rare genetic conditions communicate
This study tests whether a speech-generating tablet (like an iPad with a communication app) can help children with rare genetic conditions who are minimally verbal (using fewer than 50 words) to communicate better. If your child fits the criteria, they could get a device and training to see if it helps them express themselves more easily.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 3–12 - NCT06921265Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic brain stimulation for language in primary progressive aphasia
This study tests whether targeted magnetic stimulation to the brain can help improve language and speech in people with primary progressive aphasia. It compares the effects of real stimulation versus a placebo to see if it is a safe and useful treatment.
Milan, MilanoAges 40–85 - NCT06877897Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound vs speech therapist for NG tube removal decision
This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound of the neck (called submental ultrasound) can help doctors decide when it's safe to remove a nasogastric (NG) tube, compared to a speech therapist's evaluation. If you have an NG tube that was placed due to a recent illness and are now recovering, this trial may help find a more reliable way to know when you can safely eat by mouth again.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06860152Recruiting
Improving speech understanding in noise with cochlear implants
This study tests how well people with cochlear implants can understand speech in noisy situations, compared to those with normal hearing. It involves a special imaging scan to see how the brain processes sound, which may help improve future implant technology.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT06831396Recruiting
Ultrasound speech therapy for kids with speech sound errors
This study tests if using ultrasound to show tongue movements during speech therapy helps children with speech sound disorders improve their pronunciation. It may be an option if your child has trouble making certain sounds and speaks Cantonese.
Hong KongAges 5–12 - NCT04940000Recruiting
Remote video speech therapy check-ins for head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether video call speech therapy consultations can work well for people with head and neck (ORL) cancer who need speech/voice support during treatment. It may help you get care closer to home while still being guided by speech therapists.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06666777Recruiting
Speech therapy and parenting for early communication skills
This study tests a program that combines speech therapy with parenting support to help young children with developmental delays improve their communication and social skills. It is designed for children aged 6 months to 5 years who have developmental challenges, and their parents.
Como, ComoAges 6 months–4.9 years - NCT06649916Recruiting
Learning words from parent speech in autistic children
This study looks at how autistic and non-autistic toddlers learn new words when parents talk to them in a special, engaging way. It may help understand how to support language development.
Richardson, TexasAges 1.5 years–4.9 years - NCT06589570Recruiting
Titanium partial dentures and speech clarity study
This study tests how well a new type of metal partial denture made from titanium works for people missing multiple teeth. It looks at how the denture affects your speech and how easy it is to understand you.
CairoAges Any age - NCT06492252Recruiting
Speech learning and memory study
This study tests how well healthy adults learn and remember new speech patterns. You will say sounds or words, and we will measure how your brain controls speech.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT06491823Recruiting
Speech learning and memory study
This study tests how people learn and remember new speech patterns. You will participate in speech tasks while an MRI scans your brain activity.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT06465979Recruiting
How do people with hearing loss understand speech in different settings?
This study looks at how people with healthy hearing or hearing loss understand speech in different listening environments. You might join if you have normal hearing, mild hearing loss, or use a cochlear implant, and are a competent adult English speaker.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT06467305Recruiting
Speech training and memory study
This study tests how well people learn and remember speech movements. It helps researchers understand speech motor learning in healthy adults.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT06467292Recruiting
Speech Learning and Memory Study
This study looks at how people learn and remember speech movements. It may help explain how we improve speaking skills over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT06051006Recruiting
Testing Cochlear Implant Settings in Teens
This study tests a method to set cochlear implant sound levels using a small reflex in the ear. It may help doctors find the best sound settings for users aged 8-17.
ParisAges 8–17 - NCT06266403Recruiting
Studying how people with ALS communicate in conversations
This study looks at how people with ALS and their conversation partners talk with each other. It aims to understand changes in speech and find better ways to support communication.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 18–90 - NCT01818661RecruitingPhase 4
Imaging study for progressive apraxia of speech
This trial uses repeated brain scans to study how progressive apraxia of speech changes over time. It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve future tracking and care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06040892Recruiting
Hearing in noise for children with two cochlear implants
This study tests if wearing two cochlear implants helps children hear speech better in noisy places. The goal is to improve listening skills in everyday situations like classrooms or playgrounds.
LyonAges 7–17 - NCT05741853Recruiting
Speech therapy study for bilingual people with primary progressive aphasia
This study looks at how well speech-language therapy works in bilingual people with primary progressive aphasia, a condition that gradually affects language. It also tests whether different language skills (Spanish/Catalan or Spanish/English) affect response to treatment.
Austin, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT05668923Recruiting
Brain-scan study of speech patterns in people who stutter
This study uses MRI to look at brain signals involved in speech fluency. It may help researchers better understand what drives stuttering and how the brain supports fluent speech.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 5–17 - NCT05489965Recruiting
Looking at voice outcomes in people using a TEP after laryngectomy
This study follows people who have had their voice box fully removed (total laryngectomy) and who use a TEP (a specific type of voice device). It aims to understand whether voice results differ between men and women.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05365646Recruiting
In-ear device to test and improve speech clarity for fall risk
This study checks whether an in-ear device can enhance how clearly you speak, especially for people at risk of falling. You may do simple walking/standing tasks and use a study mobile app to help collect information.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for speech?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 198 recruiting speech studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a speech trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a speech trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
