Effectiveness of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment LOUD in Japanese-speaking patients with Parkinson's disease - Effectiveness of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment LOUD in Japanese-speaking patients with Parkinson's disease

Fourteen patients were followed-up until 12FU. Changes in dB SPL from baseline to immediately after treatment were +6.6 dB, +4.2 dB, and 2.8 dB, and those from baseline until 12FU were +4.8 dB, +3.5 dB, and +2.5 dB, respectively.These changes were significant (p < 0.05) in both the baseline-to-post-treatment and baseline-to-12FU intervals.Intelligibility was significantly improved immediately after treatment, but not at 12FU, relative to baseline. https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/6585264
