Brain stimulation study for speech in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, or HD-tDCS) to see if it can improve speech and voice problems in people with Parkinson's. The stimulation is applied over a part of the brain that helps with planning movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease.
- You speak English as your first language.
- You can see and hear well enough to do the study tasks (with glasses or hearing aids if you use them).
- You have not had brain surgery or a deep brain stimulation implant.
- You do not have dementia or any other serious brain condition besides Parkinson's.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve motor function in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses mild electrical currents applied to the scalp to stimulate brain areas involved in movement.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests whether combining physical exercise with transcranial direct current stimulation (a non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain) can improve movement and symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combination works better than exercise alone.
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (deep brain stimulation) to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive problems. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects both movement and thinking.
This trial tests whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you have these diagnoses, are on stable medications, and can safely complete brain scan/testing.
