Brain changes from vibration in laryngeal dystonia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a gentle vibrating device placed on the skin to see how it affects brain activity in people with laryngeal dystonia (a voice disorder). The goal is to learn more about how the brain controls voice and maybe find new ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have laryngeal dystonia diagnosed by a voice specialist.
- You cannot take benzodiazepine medications like Valium or Xanax.
- You must be able to have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemakers, or non-removable piercings).
- You should not have other neurological conditions like Parkinson's or stroke.
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old and not pregnant.

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 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.
This trial studies a brain stimulation approach for a specific voice disorder that can include tremor. It aims to better understand how well the treatment works and how to use it more effectively while carefully checking safety with awake procedures.
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 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.
