Functional aphonia in young people
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
The study reviewed the case histories of 14 young aphonies. A questionnaire was completed by the five speech therapists involved with these cases. The patients were all initially examined by E.N.T. specialists and then treated by speech therapy. All the patients were ‘cured’ by speech therapy, that is the voice returned to its premorbid state. This study looks at common characteristics of presentation, different approaches to management, and the patterns of voice return.
