Nonorganic dysphonia may present a challenging diagnosis, and management. Here, we present a severe form of nonorganic dysphonia, which we termed as arytenoidal dysphonia. It was a severe form of muscle tension dysphonia, which was described earlier in literature although with different nomenclature. The outcome of the accent method of voice therapy was also presented. We concluded that accent ...

This study sought to use videostrobolaryngoscopy to clarify possible biomechanical causes of dysphonia in patients with laryngeal tension-fatigue syndrome, a chronic functional dysphonia due to vocal abuse and misuse. The videostrobolaryngoscopic records of 301 laryngeal tension-fatigue syndrome patients were reviewed. The focus of observation was the visual characteristics of the mucus layer, ...

backround laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) is the backflow of stomach contents above upper esophageal sphincter, into the pharynx, larynx, and upper aerodigestive system. objectives in this study, effects of omeprazole over voice quality in muscle tension dysphonia with laryngopharyngeal reflux was ınvestigated. patients and methods nine patients, 7 males and 2 females, aged between 27-43 (mean a...

INTRODUCTION There is evidence that all the complex machinery involved in speech acts along with the auditory system, and their adjustments can be altered. OBJECTIVE To present the evidence of biofeedback application for treatment of vocal disorders, emphasizing the muscle tension dysphonia. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in Scielo, Lilacs, PubMed and Web of Sciences databases, u...

Functional dysphonia-a voice disturbance in the absence of structural or neurologic laryngeal pathology-is an enigmatic and controversial voice disorder that is frequently encountered in multidisciplinary voice clinics. Poorly regulated activity of the intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal muscles is cited as the proximal cause of functional dysphonia, but the origin of this dyregulated laryngeal m...
