tDCS Brain Stimulation for Laryngeal Dystonia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve voice control in people with laryngeal dystonia. It aims to find a new way to reduce muscle spasms in the voice box.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been clinically diagnosed with laryngeal dystonia (a condition that causes your voice box muscles to tighten unexpectedly).
- You cannot have any other speech or voice disorders besides laryngeal dystonia.
- You must be willing to follow all study steps and be available for the full study time.
- You cannot have a history of epilepsy, depression, or claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces).
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (referred to as neuromodulation, such as rTMS) can improve symptoms of laryngeal dystonia. It’s meant to see if stimulating certain brain areas can reduce how severely your voice/throat problem affects you.
This trial studies deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that sends electrical signals) to reduce voice tremor or laryngeal dystonia. You may be considered if your symptoms are persistent despite medication and you can complete the study tasks and pre-surgery testing.
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 tests how a brain–computer interface reads brain signals to understand and possibly support people with a specific voice condition called adductor laryngeal dystonia. It also compares results with healthy people to help researchers see how brain activity differs during voice tasks.
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 genetics and brain patterns are connected to laryngeal dystonia and voice tremor, including people with certain types of voice disorders. You may be asked to do imaging and voice-related assessments to help researchers understand what’s causing these symptoms.
