Voice therapy associated with a decrease in the reflux symptoms index in patients with voice complaints

ConclusionsIn this study of patients with muscle tension dysphonia or vocal hyperfunction not responsive to antireflux therapy, RSI and VHI ‐10 scores improved following voice therapy. Results suggest that self‐reported symptoms typically attributed to laryngopharyngeal reflux disease may actually be secondary to inefficient voice use patterns or anxiety about dysphonia that are responsive to voice therapy.Level of Evidence4Laryngoscope, 2018 (Source: The Laryngoscope)
