Treatment Options For Vocal Cord Dysfunction

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a type of therapy that utilizes specialized sensors that attach to an affected individual's body to show provide them with specific information about how their body works. A patient with vocal cord dysfunction can benefit from this type of feedback because they can develop better control over specific functions of their body processes. Biofeedback is a good treatment option for individuals who have chronic vocal cord dysfunction brought on by mental or emotional stress. Biofeedback helps an individual manage their stress by the use of techniques to relax certain muscles and manage certain functions in the body. An individual learns how to consciously influence their heart rate, breathing, temperature, and other body functions considered involuntary in such a way that allows them to overrule the natural responses their body has to stressors. Biofeedback is a method many patients choose to utilize because it does not involve medication.
