Long-acting sodium oxybate for voice spasms and tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new, long-acting form of a drug called sodium oxybate (Lumryz) for people with voice conditions like spasmodic dysphonia or voice tremor. The goal is to see if it can safely improve voice symptoms with fewer doses per day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 80 years old.
- You have a voice condition called spasmodic dysphonia or voice tremor that gets better with alcohol.
- You have already tried a drug called Xyrem in a prior study and it helped your voice.
- You do not have any other brain, nerve, or psychiatric conditions.
- You are not excessively sleepy during the day and are willing to avoid alcohol during the study.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
