There was highly significant differences in the scores of both self-reported questionnaire and laryngeal parameters before and after therapy with lowering the scores after voice therapyConclusion: There are signs during laryngeal examination which could be used for diagnosis of VCD in between attacks and we can conclude that voice therapy with psychological counseling and anti-reflux treatments are effective in controlling the manifestations of VCD.
