Voice training for older adults with age-related voice changes
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific posture and neck muscle exercises can improve voice function in older adults who have voice changes due to aging. It may help you speak more clearly and with less effort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares the effectiveness of voice therapy delivered in person versus through telehealth for adults aged 55 and older with age-related voice changes or vocal fold atrophy. You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, attend four therapy sessions, and participate in two in-person evaluations.
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 study tests whether adding nerve stimulation to voice exercises helps improve voice problems (dysphonia) after thyroid surgery. It may help you speak more clearly and comfortably.
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.
