Treating Voice Problems Without Surgery in Adults
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy for adults with voice changes not caused by a physical illness. It looks at whether voice therapy can help people who have trouble with their voice but whose vocal cords are essentially healthy.

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 trial compares two ways of delivering PhoRTE voice therapy—in-person or via telehealth—for people 55 and older who have age-related voice changes or vocal cord thinning. The goal is to see if doing therapy remotely works as well as coming to the clinic.
This study tests a behavioral voice therapy approach for people with voice issues caused by muscle tension or benign vocal fold lesions. It aims to improve communication and requires participants to attend sessions and practice with a smartphone.
This study tests a new way of doing voice therapy for people with muscle tension dysphonia — a condition where the muscles around the voice box are too tight, making it hard to speak clearly. The goal is to see if this structured approach helps improve voice function.
This study tests different ways of using your voice to reduce pressure on vocal fold lesions caused by overuse. If you are between 18 and 40, have been diagnosed with such lesions, and are going to voice therapy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if gentle vibration applied to the neck can help people with voice problems caused by muscle strain (hyperfunctional dysphonia). If you have a strained voice without vocal cord lesions and may benefit from voice therapy, this study could help you.
