Speech therapy with computer feedback for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new speech therapy approach for people with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate speech problems. It uses a computer program that listens to your speech and helps you practice speaking more clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have a formal diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's is at stage I to IV (mild to moderate).
- You have mild to moderate speech problems (dysarthria) because of Parkinson's.
- You have not had deep brain stimulation surgery.
- You have not had intensive voice therapy in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether automated analysis of your speech can help reduce speech problems caused by deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease. It may help your team adjust DBS settings to improve how you speak while keeping Parkinson symptoms controlled.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called HD-tDCS) can improve speaking and voice in people with Parkinson's disease. You will do speech tasks while receiving the stimulation to see if it helps.
This research study tests special amplification devices designed to help people with Parkinson disease or related conditions speak more clearly. The goal is to improve how well others can understand your speech.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s disease speak, move, and think to see whether these patterns can act like a “biomarker” (a measurable sign) of the disease. It also involves healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study tests a “smart,” closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) system that adjusts stimulation based on your brain signals. It’s designed for people with Parkinson’s who get troubling medication side effects, with the hope of improving symptoms more smoothly.
This study tests whether coordinated touch (vibrotactile) training can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s. You may be asked to use a special device and attend virtual check-ins, with some visits requiring stopping Parkinson’s meds for short periods.
