About

Speech disorders affect more than 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Neither of conventional drugs nor surgery can effectively improve speech function. Western speech rehabilitation is effective for speech disorders, but the domestic use of those methods used is limited. Our preliminary results revealed that traditional Chinese Yi jin jing tiger roaring speech rehabilitation is effectively in the treatment of speech disorders in PD, however, high-quality clinical evidence is still scarce. In order to solve this problem, we will conduct a prospective cohort study to explore the effects of Yi Jin Jing tiger roaring speech rehabilitation with real-time feedback technique on speech disorders in PD patients. This study will help to establish a set of Chinese Medicine treatment and objective evaluation methods for PD speech disorders.
