Simplified Ultrasound Feedback for Speech Remediation
NCT06366256 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Recent research in motor control shows that people learn new movements best when they receive feedback external to the body. Traditional ultrasound speech therapy works well for many children, but involves teaching children to focus on their internal tongue movements. The goal of the study is to test whether ultrasound biofeedback delivered without showing children a display of their tongue movements will be effective as a treatment for residual speech sound disorders in children. We focus on children who have trouble producing the sound "r" as in "rabbit". The first aim is to develop a fast reliable system to track movements of different parts of the tongue using ultrasound and to identify which combinations of movements will produce a good "r" and which do not. The second aim is to develop a motivational game in which children receive feedback on the success of their tongue movements by what happens to an animated character on a screen. This developed version of ultrasound feedback therapy will be compared to the traditional version of ultrasound feedback therapy to determine how the two approaches can best be utilized in the clinic.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06366256
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06366256 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Cincinnati, which has 179 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Speech Sound Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Traditional ultrasound biofeedback is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06366256 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
