Speech Amplification Devices for Parkinson Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You speak North American English as your main language
- A neurologist has diagnosed you with Parkinson disease, PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy), or MSA (multiple system atrophy)
- You've noticed changes in your speech or voice quality
- You don't have other speech or language problems besides those from your Parkinson-related condition
- Your hearing loss is mild (if any), or you don't use a cochlear implant

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 study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called HD-tDCS) can improve speaking and voice in people with Parkinson's disease. You will do speech tasks while receiving the stimulation to see if it helps.
This study tests whether automated analysis of your speech can help reduce speech problems caused by deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease. It may help your team adjust DBS settings to improve how you speak while keeping Parkinson symptoms controlled.
This study tests a “smart,” closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) system that adjusts stimulation based on your brain signals. It’s designed for people with Parkinson’s who get troubling medication side effects, with the hope of improving symptoms more smoothly.
This study tests a special arm movement training program for people with Parkinson's disease to see if it helps improve arm and hand use. It may be an option if you have moderate Parkinson's and can follow instructions.
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.
