“…Therefore, there is an intense action on the extrinsic musculature that is strongly associated with the intrinsic musculature and configuration of the vocal tract (5) . Authors (2,5) have observed that, after intervention with some type of manual therapy, phonatory function improved, which can be observed in the present study since the possible relaxation of the extrinsic musculature provided by the LMT led to better regularity of opening and closing movements of the vocal folds, with improved parameters of standard deviation of the period (DDCdpP) and period variation coefficient (DDCcvP). Likewise, more relaxed adjustments in the laryngeal musculature can influence changes in sub-and supraglottal pressure (30) , which also leads to improvement in DDK values associated with the regularity of the emission intensity.…”

“…Behavioral dysphonia associated with muscle tension is traditionally administrated with vocal speech-language therapy, for which several authors recommend that laryngeal relaxation be prioritized by means of techniques of digital manipulation of the larynx (1,2) , circunlaryngeal manual therapy (3,4) or manual laryngeal therapy (5) , as well as production smoothing and emission stabilization techniques, along with mucosal wave stimulation, in order to regress mass lesions on the vocal folds, if present (6) .…”

“…Subsequently, a number of practitioners from various disciplines, including speech pathology 5,6,7,8,9,10 , osteopathy 11 and physical therapy, have developed manual therapy techniques designed to be used in the treatment of voice disorders. As a result manual therapy is being used increasingly in the treatment of muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) and the emerging literature is beginning to provide an evidence-base for the effectiveness of these approaches.…”

“…A study by Roy and Ferguson 12 investigated formant frequency changes following manual circumlaryngeal therapy for functional dysphonia. Roy had conducted previous studies supporting the efficacy of circumlaryngeal therapy 5,9 and was subsequently seeking to establish objective evidence to confirm physical changes, such as lowering of the larynx, which are associated with successful management of functional dysphonia. The study of 75 subjects showed, on formant frequency analysis, that there was lowering of the first three formants, thus confirming the hypothesised decrease in laryngeal height and lengthening of the vocal tract following intervention.…”

“…Alguns efeitos provocados pela realização do exercício vocal durante um determinado período, tais como piora na qualidade vocal e dor na região da laringe são considerados sintomas de fadiga vocal (7) . Alguns estudos já foram realizados com o objetivo de determinar a eficácia de alguns exercícios vocais, tais como a técnica de vocal fry (8) , método de acentuação (9)(10)(11) , ressonân-cia (12) , manipulação digital da laringe (13,14) , técnica dos sons nasais, sobrearticulação (15) , exercícios de trato vocal semi ocluído (16) e fonação reversa (17) . Estudos visando analisar a eficácia da terapia vocal são frequentemente realizados.…”
