Mean age was 61.04 years (range: 21-88 years). The mean score of VHI, before and after voice therapy, was statistically different ( P &lt; .001) with a lower score after therapy. The score of VHI was not influenced by age ( P = .717). However, for each 10-year increase in age, the score of VHI, before and after voice therapy, increased 1.91 and 2.86 units, respectively. As concerns endoscopic findings, 80% of patients exhibited better glottis closure after voice therapy ( P &lt; .001), and this was not influenced by age. Nevertheless, for each 10-year increase in age, the chance of endoscopic improvement reduced 3%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A clear and significant improvement was visible in the endoscopic and self-assessment ratings after rehabilitation by isolated voice therapy.
