Novel Respiratory Therapy for the Improvement of Post COVID Condition Symptoms: A Case Series
Speech-language pathologists are seeing a growing number of patients whose voice and upper airway symptoms are complicated by dyspnea, cognitive difficulties, anxiety, extreme fatigue, and other debilitating post COVID symptoms. These patients are often less responsive to traditional speech-language pathology treatments and there is emerging literature that suggests dysfunctional breathing (DB) might contribute to dyspnea and other symptoms in this patient population. Treatment of DB through breathing retraining has been shown to improve breathing and successfully reduce symptoms similar to those seen in patients with long...

Respiratory therapies for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A state of the art review
Chron Respir Dis. 2023 Jan-Dec;20:14799731231175915. doi: 10.1177/14799731231175915.ABSTRACTAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative condition noteworthy for upper and lower motor neuron death. Involvement of respiratory motor neuron pools leads to progressive pathology. These impairments include decreases in neural activation and muscle coordination, progressive airway obstruction, weakened airway defenses, restrictive lung disease, increased risk of pulmonary infections, and weakness and atrophy of respiratory muscles. These neural, airway, pulmonary, and neuromuscular changes deteriorate integrated res...
