Recruiting studies
- NCT06088589Recruiting

Music therapy for aging and Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests if music-based activities can help older adults with or without Alzheimer's. You'll attend weekly music sessions and be assessed over time.

Swallowing and speech therapy after tongue cancer surgery
This trial tests whether starting speech and swallowing therapy early after surgery helps people with tongue cancer recover their ability to eat and talk. It is for patients having part of their tongue removed and rebuilt with a tissue flap.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06295263Recruiting
AI for diagnosing and treating brain diseases in older adults
This study uses artificial intelligence to help diagnose and treat brain diseases that affect older adults, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Researchers will compare AI methods with standard care to see if they can improve diagnosis and treatment.
Jinan, ShandongAges 8–100 - NCT06303869Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for speech after stroke
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06323330Recruiting
Music therapy for speech recovery after stroke
This study tests if music therapy can help people with speech problems after a stroke. It is designed for those who had a stroke within the past year and have trouble speaking fluently (non-fluent aphasia).
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–99 - NCT06560242Recruiting
Tracking early sound perception in Fragile X syndrome
This study uses safe brain monitoring (fNIRS and EEG) to see how infants with Fragile X syndrome process sounds compared to other infants. The goal is to find early signs of hearing or perception issues.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 6 months–2.2 years - NCT06377215Recruiting
How well do you hear speech in noise?
This study tests how well people understand speech in noisy settings, comparing younger and older adults with normal hearing and older adults with hearing loss. It aims to improve our understanding of hearing aid benefits.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06403475Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for aphasia after stroke
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin of the ear (called tVNS) can help improve word finding in people with aphasia after a stroke. You will use a computer speech program while receiving the stimulation or a placebo.
SheffieldAges 18 years+ - NCT06450418Recruiting
Digital app for speech and health monitoring
This trial tests a digital app that tracks speech and health changes. It is open to people with certain neurological conditions, their caregivers, and healthy volunteers.
EdinburghAges 16 years+ - NCT06471244Recruiting
Brain signal study with EEG and MEG using fast imaging
This study uses EEG and MEG scans to create better images of brain activity. It may help researchers improve methods for understanding brain function.
IlmenauAges 18–65 - NCT06479278Recruiting
Talk With Me Baby for early language development
This study tests a program called Talk With Me Baby, which coaches parents on talking with their infants to help boost their early language skills during regular well-child checkups. It is for caregivers who speak English and have a healthy full-term baby up to 9 months old.
Kansas City, KansasAges birth–9 months - NCT06490237Recruiting
Studying hearing nerve signals during brain surgery
This study records how the hearing nerve responds to speech sounds during planned brain surgery. It aims to understand hearing loss better and may help improve future treatments.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06508268Recruiting
Language, speech, and movement in early Alzheimer's
This study looks at how language, speech, and motor skills change in people with mild cognitive impairment (early memory problems) due to Alzheimer's disease, and in people with Alzheimer's disease. It also includes healthy older adults for comparison. The goal is to better understand these changes, which may help with earlier diagnosis.
GroningenAges Any age - NCT06517225RecruitingPhase 2
Online vs in-person speech therapy for /r/ sound
This study tests whether speech therapy for the 'r' sound works as well when sessions are online (via video) compared to in-person. It is for children ages 9–17 who struggle to say the 'r' sound.
Bloomfield, New JerseyAges 9–17 - NCT06528158Recruiting
Speech groups for children with a sibling with anorexia
This study offers group speech therapy sessions for children whose sibling has anorexia nervosa. It helps them talk about their feelings and experiences in a supportive setting.
ToulouseAges 8–18 - NCT06551857Recruiting
How cancer treatments affect hearing and thinking
This study looks at how common cancer treatments (certain chemotherapies and radiation to the head and neck) affect hearing in noisy places, thinking skills, and quality of life related to hearing. It aims to understand and possibly reduce these side effects.
Turku, Southwest FinlandAges 18–75 - NCT06561919Recruiting
Speech and language study during brain stimulation treatment
This is an extra part of the STIMPulseControl study that focuses on speech. It looks at how the brain stimulation treatment affects your ability to speak clearly and communicate.
CologneAges 18–70 - NCT06578416Recruiting
Stuttering development in young children
This study looks at how stuttering develops in young children by comparing kids who stutter with those who don't. It aims to understand the differences to help improve future treatments.
East Lansing, MichiganAges 3–6 - NCT06580847Recruiting
Choir for older adults with untreated hearing loss
This trial tests whether joining a choir helps older adults with untreated hearing loss. If you have mild-to-moderate hearing loss and do not use hearing aids, this study may be a good fit for you.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06628505Recruiting
Auditory training study for people with mild brain injury
This trial tests a type of listening training to see if it can help people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). It may improve how your brain processes sound.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT06635187Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for speech?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 197 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.
