In outpatients clinic, the first group consists of 60 head and neck cancer patients who were treated by ours. The participants will given the document consists that "bit, bet, but" words and also a brief part of "Diyet passage" who written by Omer Seyffettin. The speech record of patients who read to document, will evaluated by three judges (otorhinolaryngologist). Three judges will scoring to Turkish translation of London Speech Evaluation Scale (LSE-T), consists of 6 parameters. After the six weeks, the records were scored again as randomisely.

In outpatients clinic, the control group consists of 60 patients who have not speech and hear impairments. The participants will given the document consists that "bit, bet, but" words and also a brief part of "Diyet passage" who written by Omer Seyffettin.

The document consists "bit, bet, but" words and Diyet passage. Volunteers will read the document in front of the microphone and also the speech will recorded by a computer.

Purpose of the study is the validation and cultual adaptation of the Turkish translation of the London Speech Evaluation Scale (LSE-T), so that it would be used as an assessment tool for Turkish head and neck cancer patients. There is no validated Turkish version of LSE to measure severity of perceptual speech in head and neck cancer patients.

The speech function is a multidirectional process that depends on complex neuro-muscular network. The function can be evaluated using instrumental, such as voice analysis computer programmes, scales, or well structured questionnaires. There are many scales for assessment of perceptual speech but there is no validated for head and neck patients. The study will assess the construct validity and adaptation of the Turkish translation of Speech Specific Perceptual Speech Evaluation as known as London Speech Evaluation Scale. The investigators developed the Turkish translation of this scale (LSE-T), according to the cross-cultural adaptation guidelines. Two translators translated the LSE into Turkish and a native English language speaker reverse-translated it into English. The back translation was sent to the original author for proofreading. The LSE scale consisted of 6 parameters and 4 scores related with perceptual speech in head and neck cancer patients.

Validation of the Turkish Translation of the London Speech Evaluation Scale

Validation and Cultural Adaptation of the Turkish Translation of the London Speech Evaluation Scale

Turkish Translation of London Speech Evaluation Scale consists of 6 parameters and 4 scores. The minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 24. The lower scores mean a better than high scores.

The goal of this longitudinal study is to learn more about the articulatory consequences of surgical oral cancer treatment. The main aims are to study the coordination and development of speech articulation of patients who will undergo surgical treatment for oral cancer longitudinally and whether individual differences in the reliance on auditory or tactile information can predict the success of speech compensatory strategies.

Participants will perform multiple speech tasks while motion tracking sensors track the articulatory gestures.

Articulatory Adaptation Following Oral Cancer Treatment

Speech Flexibility in Adulthood Following Oral Cancer Treatment: Acoustic and Kinematic Explorations

Articulatory movements in three dimensions of the tongue, lips and jaw as measured by the NDI Vox Electromagnetic Articulograph. Measures include: articulator speed (mm/s), total displacement (mm), coordinates (x,y,z) during specific gestures.

Speech acoustics will be measured in Praat and include the first and second formants of vowels (in Hz), global movement size in terms of acoustic working space (Hz-squared), and the centre of gravity of sibilants (in Hz)

Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for articulation

Every month we try and update this database with for articulation cancer trials from around the world to help patients and their families find trials that might be right for them.
We offer this 100% free of charge and do not endorse any of the trials listed here, we hope it helps you or a loved one.
