在2年的时间里，17名“功能性发音障碍”患者在医院接受了评估和治疗。一个单一的治疗方法，被称为手动喉肌肉骨骼张力降低，采用。治疗方案的效果进行了分析，使用知觉和声学措施的发声功能。结果表明，在一个疗程内，大多数患者的“正常”发声功能方向发生了显着变化。治疗后，严重程度的感知指标更有可能被评为正常。语音的声学测量证实，抖动、闪烁和信噪比（SNR）有显着改善。结果进行了讨论，在功能性发声障碍的临床实用性和有效性，这种治疗方法。
During a 2-year period, 17 patients with ''functional dysphonia'' were assessed and managed in a hospital setting. A single treatment approach, known as manual laryngeal musculoskeletal tension reduction, was employed. The effects of the therapy regimen were analyzed using perceptual and acoustical measures of vocal function. The results indicated a significant change in the direction of ''normal'' vocal function in the majority of patients within one treatment session. Perceptual measures of severity were consistently more likely to be rated as normal following treatment. Acoustic measures of voice confirmed significant improvements in jitter, shimmer, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Results are discussed in terms of the clinical utility and effectiveness of this treatment approach for functional dysphonia.
