Personal voice restoration device for people after laryngectomy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized device designed to help restore voice function for people who have lost or severely weakened their voice after laryngectomy. You may be invited if you are an adult with specific voice problems, or (in a separate group) if you are healthy and have normal voice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must belong to one of two groups: healthy volunteers with normal voice, or someone with severe voice problems (aphonia or dysphonia).
- If you have voice problems, you need documentation of severe dysphonia/aphonia or a GRBAS score above 0 (a checklist rating voice quality).
- If you’re a healthy volunteer, you cannot have any voice impairment (any voice problem).
- If you have voice problems, you must not have face muscles that are entirely paralyzed.

This study tests a behavioral voice therapy approach for people with voice issues caused by muscle tension or benign vocal fold lesions. It aims to improve communication and requires participants to attend sessions and practice with a smartphone.
This trial tests if gentle vibration applied to the neck can help people with voice problems caused by muscle strain (hyperfunctional dysphonia). If you have a strained voice without vocal cord lesions and may benefit from voice therapy, this study could help you.
This trial tests whether joining workshops and exchange groups helps people who have had their voice box removed (a total laryngectomy) feel better supported. You would attend four sessions at Bichat Hospital to share experiences and learn from others.
This study looks at whether a larynx (voice box) transplant can help people who have permanent loss of laryngeal function. It is a very small early evaluation (only 3 patients) and would require major surgery and medicines that lower the immune system.
This study tests a voice implant device in people with permanent vocal cord weakness (UVFP) who have trouble closing their vocal cords. It aims to improve voice strength and reduce voice-related burden, while checking safety over the study period.
This study looks at how your personality affects your ability to learn a special kind of voice (VOO) after larynx removal surgery. It aims to help doctors better support people learning this new way of speaking.
