Lee Silverman voice treatment

The Lee Silverman voice treatment (LSVT) is one of the most widely practiced treatment for speech disorders associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). It focuses on increasing vocal loudness and has an intensive approach of one month.[1][2] Speech therapy and specifically LSVT may improve voice and speech function in PD.[1]
