Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews

Morgan, A. T., & Vogel, A. P. (2008).

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 3, CD006279.

This systematic review investigates the effects of a variety of interventions (e.g., perceptually-based therapy, instrumentally-based biofeedback approaches) on articulation, phonation, resonance, prosody, respiration, or a combination of outcomes in children and adolescents, 3-16 years old, with acquired dysarthria resulting from acquired brain injury.

<div>No studies were found that met the inclusion criteria; therefore, the authors were unable to draw conclusions about the efficacy of perceptually-based or instrumentally-based biofeedback treatment methods for children aged three to 16 years old with acquired dysarthria. Additional research is needed to determine the efficacy of the interventions implemented.</div>
