Brain and voice study for teachers with vocal fatigue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how vocal fatigue affects the brain and voice in teachers. It uses MRI and voice tests to understand these changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a teacher with up to 10 years of full-time experience, or a student teacher
- You are between 21 and 39 years old
- You have symptoms of vocal fatigue (like a tired or strained voice)
- You are right-handed
- You have not smoked in the past 5 years
- You have no known voice or vocal cord problems, no history of voice therapy, and no hoarseness

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two breathing exercises, EMST and Triflo, to see if they can reduce vocal fatigue in teachers. It may help you speak longer with less strain.
This study looks at how the autonomic nervous system (the part that controls things like heart rate and sweat) might be linked to functional dysphonia, a voice problem with no clear physical cause. If you have this voice disorder and meet the health and lifestyle criteria, your participation could help improve understanding of the condition.
This study is looking for “vocal biomarkers,” meaning voice patterns that could hint at how well people are doing with chronic (long-term) health conditions. Your participation would involve providing voice samples so researchers can see what voice features relate to health.
This study looks at whether changes in your voice can show fatigue levels in people with generalised myasthenia gravis. It involves recording your voice twice daily using an app to help develop a non-invasive way to monitor fatigue.
This early study uses brain and voice-related testing to better understand what is happening in the brain in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. The results may help scientists learn more about these conditions and how they differ from healthy voices.
This study looks at how the brain and voice system work in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor, and compares them with healthy volunteers. The goal is to better describe different “types” (phenotypes) so future care can be more targeted.
