Abstract

■ Up to 50% of voice disorder patients may have coexisting LPR.

■ Twice-a-day therapy with a proton pump inhibitor results in the highest symptom resolution.

■ Muscletension patterns I–IV seen in MTD are not pathognomonic for this disorder and can be seen in other voice disorders such as spasmodic dysphonia, and even some normal voices.

■ PVFMD is treated best with multimodality treatment that includes respiratory retraining (voice therapy) and proton pump inhibitors, as LPR is a common trigger for PVFMD episodes.
