    Background:

    • Spastic dysphonia is a complex voice disorder affecting vocal cord function.
    • Etiology remains debated, with neurological and psychological factors considered.

    Observation:

    • A review of 130 spastic dysphonia cases was conducted.
    • The circumstances surrounding the onset of the disorder were analyzed.

    Findings:

    • The analysis strongly indicates a psychogenic origin in the vast majority of cases.
    • Psychological factors appear to be a primary driver for spastic dysphonia onset.

    Implications:

    • This finding suggests psychotherapy and psychological interventions may be crucial for treating spastic dysphonia.
    • Further research into the psychogenic underpinnings of voice disorders is warranted.
