Effects of an 8-Week Mindfulness Course in People With Voice Disorders

Nearly every modern textbook on the etiology and treatment of voice disorders (VD) recommends stress reduction for VD patients.

Our objective was to determine whether an 8-week mindfulness course could increase mindfulness and lower stress in people with VD, leading to a decrease in vocal handicap.
