Patient-Reported Factors Associated with the Onset of Hyperfunctional Voice Disorders.

CONCLUSION: The results support the general clinical view that PVH is most strongly related to the gradual accumulated effects of phonotrauma, while NPVH has a more heterogeneous etiology. The identified PVH and NPVH subgroups may have clinical relevance and future work could investigate differences in treatment and outcomes among these subgroups.
