Clinical Trials for Parkinson's Speech and Swallowing
Changes to speech, voice, and swallowing are common in Parkinson's and can have a big effect on daily life and safety. A quieter voice, slurred speech, and trouble swallowing can make communication and eating harder, and swallowing problems carry real health risks.
Trials in this area test speech and voice therapy programs, devices, and exercises designed to strengthen swallowing, along with studies that track how these functions change over time.
Below are the recruiting trials we track that focus on speech and swallowing. Sign up to be emailed when a new one opens.
