What this trial studies

This interventional study investigates a tongue-strengthening regimen designed to increase tongue muscle strength and endurance. It uses a non-significant risk device administered remotely to participants who have speech impairment due to tongue weakness. Eligible participants must be able to read and write and follow the protocol, while excluding those with prior speech therapy for non-head and neck cancer causes or medical instability. The study aims to determine if the tongue exercises translate into clearer, more fluent speech. Remote participation is supported, with Naples, Florida noted as the location context.
