Longitudinal variations of laryngeal overpressure and voice‐related quality of life in spasmodic dysphonia

ConclusionsVariability in self‐ratings of the V‐RQOL suggest that perceived disability related to AdSD should be actively monitored. Further, auditory–perceptual judgments may provide an accurate index of the potential impact of the disorder on the speaker. Similarly, LO was supported as a simple clinical measure that serves as a reliable index of voice change over time. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2014
