FACTS ABOUT LSVT LOUD

The LSVT® Programs have been developed and scientifically researched over the past 25 years with funding from the National Institutes of Health.

​

LSVT® LOUD is the first speech treatment with level 1 evidence and established efficacy for treating voice and speech disorders in people with Parkinson disease (PD) with application to other neurological disorders.

Research on LSVT® LOUD has documented improvements on functioning in people with PD following treatment, including:
