Few objective outcomes data exist regarding the effectiveness of voice therapy for this poorly understood disorder.

Pre\u2010 and posttreatment audiorecordings of connected speech and sustained vowel samples were submitted to auditory\u2010perceptual and acoustic analysis to assess the effects of a single voice therapy session. Acoustic estimates of severity in both connected speech and sustained vowel productions were computed using the Cepstral Spectral Index of Dysphonia (CSID), a multivariate dysphonia summary tool that
