Voice training with posture exercises for older adults with presbyphonia
Treatments studied
This study tests a voice training program that includes postural alignment and deep neck muscle exercises to improve voice function in older adults with age-related voice changes (presbyphonia). It aims to see if this training can help make the voice stronger and clearer.

This trial studies how age-related voice changes (presbyphonia) affect social interactions and daily life. You may be eligible if you have thinning of the vocal cords and can complete voice assessments and questionnaires.
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 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.
This early-phase study tests a mix of voice therapy and “biofeedback” (real-time feedback to help you change how you use your voice) for people with vocal overuse symptoms. It may help improve voice quality by targeting muscle tension and strain that happen when the voice is overworked.
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.
