Speech learning and production in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's disease learn and produce speech. It may help researchers understand how Parkinson's affects talking and how to improve communication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You take a medication that contains levodopa (like Sinemet or Rytary).

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze facial expressions and speech patterns in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The goal is to find digital markers that may help track the disease.
This trial tests a listener training program to help people better understand speech that is hard to understand due to Parkinson's disease. It may help if you have Parkinson's and a speech problem called hyperkinetic dysarthria.
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.
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 tests whether LSVT-LOUD, a speech therapy program, can improve voice, speech, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease who have voice or speech problems. Participants must be native Turkish speakers, aged 40-80, with mild to moderate Parkinson's.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, or HD-tDCS) to see if it can improve speech and voice problems in people with Parkinson's. The stimulation is applied over a part of the brain that helps with planning movement.
