Summary
Telepractice delivery of eclectic voice therapy for hyperfunctional voice disorder (HFVD) showed significant improvements in vocal fold function and reduced dysphonia. This approach offers a promising alternative treatment for individuals with HFVD.
Area of Science:
- Speech and Hearing Sciences
- Telemedicine
- Voice Disorders
Background:
- Hyperfunctional voice disorder (HFVD) affects individuals in vocally demanding professions, often with inflexible schedules.
- Eclectic voice therapy using combinatory approaches delivered via telepractice has the potential for improved efficiency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To implement an eclectic voice therapy program via telepractice for individuals with HFVD.
- To examine the efficacy of telepractice-delivered eclectic voice therapy in improving voice quality and function in HFVD patients.
Main Methods:
- 10 individuals with HFVD received 15 sessions of Comprehensive Voice Habilitation Program (CVHP) via Zoom over 3 weeks.
- Stroboscopy, CAPE-V, AVQI, and VHI-K were used for baseline, post-therapy, and follow-up assessments.
- Statistical analysis included Friedman's Two-way Analysis of Variance and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
Main Results:
- Stroboscopy revealed improved vocal fold movement and reduced ventricular hyperadduction.
- Decreased CAPE-V and AVQI scores indicated a reduction in dysphonia severity.
- Reduced VHI-K scores suggested improvements in psychosocial aspects and quality of life.
Conclusions:
- Telepractice delivery of CVHP shows preliminary benefits for individuals with HFVD.
- Telepractice is a viable alternative treatment modality for managing hyperfunctional voice disorders.

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
