This study looks at whether a small change in how doctors use electronic health records can improve how compassionate and professional they seem during your clinic visit. If you join, you would fill out a short survey after your appointment.
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.
This study measures how well you speak and swallow using simple tests. Researchers want to understand the connection between speech patterns and swallowing ability to help diagnose swallowing problems early.
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 tests how listening to speech during interactive tasks affects what you hear. It may help us understand how people communicate in everyday situations.
This study uses a computer program to listen to your speech and see if it can help detect mental health or neurodevelopmental conditions. It may help find new ways to diagnose conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and others earlier.
