U.S., Feb. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06815263) titled 'Listener Training for Improved Intelligibility of People with Parkinson's Disease' on Feb. 03.

Brief Summary: Listener training offers a promising avenue for improving communication for people with dysarthria due to Parkinson's disease by offsetting the intelligibility burden from the patient onto their primary communication partners. Here, we employ a repeated-measures, randomized controlled trial to establish the efficacy of listener training for patients with PD and their primary communication partners. This translational work will establish a new realm of clinical practice in which the intelligibility impairments in PD are addres...
