Oxygen therapy for professional singers' voices
This study tests whether breathing high-pressure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help improve vocal performance in professional singers. You will visit the clinic regularly and have brain scans to see how the therapy affects your voice.

This study looks at how the vocal cords move during exercise in young adults who have trouble breathing while active. It may help researchers understand why this happens and how to better diagnose and treat it.
This study compares two ways of training the body for better aerobic fitness: short, controlled low-oxygen workouts versus treatment in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It may help athletes improve endurance, measured by their breathing and fitness performance.
This trial tests a therapy for adults with voice changes not caused by a physical illness. It looks at whether voice therapy can help people who have trouble with their voice but whose vocal cords are essentially healthy.
This study tests if adding a special breathing exercise (lung volume recruitment) to the Lee Silverman voice therapy program helps voice professionals improve their voice. You may be able to join if you're a voice professional with a healthy voice and no smoking history.
This study tests whether exercising in a high-oxygen environment can help build stronger muscles faster. Researchers will have you do resistance training (like weightlifting) in a special chamber with extra oxygen to see if it boosts your muscle gains.
