Phase N/A

This study aims to see if using a special system called RTSS-Voice can help people with Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD), a voice disorder where muscles around the voice box get tight. The RTSS-Voice helps doctors think about their treatments more carefully. The study will compare patient outcomes from two different years to see if the system makes a difference. Patients will have their voice quality and functioning checked before and after therapy.

Key Points:

  • Study Duration: Involves 600 patients over two years.
  • Eligibility: Must have MTD; some other conditions allowed.
  • Compensation: Not mentioned, but requires participation in voice therapy sessions.

To join, you must have a primary diagnosis of MTD. People with other serious throat problems or who don't speak English can't join. The study hopes to show that the RTSS-Voice system improves voice therapy outcomes. Results will help determine if this method is effective and should continue being used in therapy sessions.
