Direct problem with the use of vocal technique<br />2. Voice muscle habitual misuse<br />3. Acid reflux from the stomach or laryngopharyngeal reflux<br />4. Underlying inflammation of the vocal cord<br />5. Growth on the vocal cord<br />6. Neurological disorder affecting the vocal cord<br />Frequent Symptoms Linked with MTD<br />1. Hoarse voice<br />a. Unreliable voice<br />b. Low, gravely voice<br />c. Voice breaks<br />d. Hoarse and rough quality<br />2. Strained voice<br />a. Airy or breathy voice<br />b. Inability to sing<br />c. Extra force needed for loud voice<br />d. Vocal symptoms worsen with stress<br />e. Inconsistent voice<br />3. Pain or sore throat when talking<br />4. Vocal fatigue easily<br />5. Difficulty controlling pitch<br />Diagnosis:<br />1. A history of how the voice problem began and an evaluation of voice and speaking behaviors are steps in the diagnosis of primary MTD<br />2. Speech-Language Pathology Evaluation<br />Evaluation by a speech-language pathologist is very essential in the diagnosis of muscle tension dysphonia.<br />Acoustic and aerodynamic measurements are also priceless assessment tools to find out the normal voice and breathing behaviors.<br />3. Laryngoscopy and Stroboscopy<br />It is a diagnosis of exclusion; careful examination of the vocal folds is required to exclude anatomical abnormalities.<br />Flexible laryngoscopy permits the doctors to observe some muscular patterns during speaking.<br />Videostroboscopy can help to view the vocal cords and permit the examiner to evaluate the mucosal wave as a marker for vocal fold vibration.<br />4. CT or MRI Scanning of skull from nose to vocal box to look for underlying causes.<br />5. Investigation for Other Linked Abnormalities<br />The diagnostic process should also direct on looking for important linked factors, such as:<br />a. Laryngopharyngeal reflux<br />b. Allergies<br />c. Side effects of medications (e.g., diuretics and antihistamines)<br />d. Hormonal Imbalance<br />Treatment:<br />Speech therapy is the best standard treatment for primary MTD.<br />Speech therapy assists the patient to improve vocal symptoms through exercises and techniques geared at improving the way the body (muscles, lungs etc.) work together to create voice:<br />2. Behavioral Counseling<br />In cases of primary MTD linked with stress or anxiety, it can be very useful for the patient to work with a counselor to decrease stress besides completing voice therapy.<br />3.
