Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Speech and voice disorders are observed in almost 90% of patients with PD during their course of illness. Reduced voice pitch inflections or monotone speech, reduced vocal loudness, prosody disorders, the imprecise articulation of the consonants, hoarseness, and breathy voice is also observed in patients with PD; these symptoms often lead to reduced speech intelligibility. The aim of this study will to investigate the possible changes in the voice and speech features in people with PD after a combined speech and music therapy using Telerehabilitation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

the investigators of this study propose to conduct a pilot randomized, controlled trial in patients with PD to assess the potential effectiveness of a Telerehabilitation intervention that encourage a higher level of speech performance. The investigators hypothesize that patients in the combined treatment group will have more and better improve in the study outcome measures after treatment and 3 month follow up, as compared with patients in speech therapy group and music therapy group.
