Improving nasal-sounding speech and swallowing in head and neck cancer survivors with velopharyngeal dysfunction
This pilot effort tests whether injecting material to 'plump' the back wall of the throat (pharyngeal wall augmentation) can help head and neck cancer survivors with velopharyngeal dysfunction speak less nasally and swallow better.
-
Analyzing Velopharyngeal Motor Skills in Children with Cleft Palate Using MRI
This study is trying to see how well the muscles in the throat work in children with cleft palate to help understand why some still have trouble speaking after surgery.

Breathing exercises to improve speech in children with cleft palate
This study is testing if breathing exercises can help children with cleft palate improve their speech by reducing nasal sounds.
