Looking at voice outcomes in people using a TEP after laryngectomy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are currently using a TEP voice device.
- You must be using TEP to speak/produce voice as part of your current care.
