Abstract

Voice therapy should be a component of treatment for any dysphonic patient. Indirect therapy centered around voice hygiene and patient education, as well as direct therapy that intervenes on the physiology of phonation, are both important to include as treatment options. Voice therapy has been studied in the treatment of a variety of conditions that may also include vocal fold injection as part of their treatment, including benign vocal fold lesions, vocal fold paralysis, presbyphonia, and laryngeal tremor. There is evidence of patient benefit with even one session of preoperative voice therapy, and a variety of studies to support the use of postoperative therapy as well. Content, timing, and duration of voice therapy has not been standardized, and in the absence of this should be decided between the individual patient and their speech-language pathologist.
