This study aimed to review studies on LB for neurological diseases other than Parkinson\u2019s disease and examine its potential as an intervention tool. Method: The main search databases included Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. \u2018Neurological disease\u2019, \u2018LSVT-BIG\u2019, \u2018Treatment or Rehabilitation\u2019, \u2018Intervention\u2019, and \u2018Therapy\u2019 were used as search keywords until December 2024, and eight articles were finally selected. Results: As a result of analyzing eight studies, there were four studies on stroke (all conducted by occupational therapists) and four studies on other diseases, including two studies on progressive supranuclear palsy, one study on idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, and one study on Huntington\u2019s disease (all conducted by physical therapists). Conclusions: LB had a positive effect on improving physical function and overall motor control in patients with neurological diseases other than Parkinson\u2019s disease, indicating its potential as an intervention tool. In the future, studies that have high-level evidence-based study designs and complement small sample sizes are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of LB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci15040367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,1]],"date-time":"2025-04-01T11:17:57Z","timestamp":1743506277000},"page":"367","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effectiveness of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)-BIG for Neurological Diseases Other than Parkinson\u2019s Disease: Mini Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9746-2550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changyeon","family":"Won","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, Graduate School, Kangwon National University, Samcheok 25949, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Woohyuk","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, Kangwon National University, Samcheok 25949, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3995-8905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunwook","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Kangwon National University, Samcheok 25949, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"320","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awr271","article-title":"Neurological diseases and pain","volume":"135","author":"Borsook","year":"2012","journal-title":"Brain"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"642","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neurol.2020.01.356","article-title":"Epidemiology of neurological diseases in older adults","volume":"176","author":"Dumurgier","year":"2020","journal-title":"Rev.
