Abstract

Dysphonia due to muscle tension is one of the common
diagnoses in the voice clinic and the voice therapist /
pathologist or vocologist is a fundamental part of the
multidisciplinary team responsible for its management.
The objective of this article is to describe muscle
tension dysphonia as part of the spectrum of the
named functional dysphonias. En the first part, several
definitions, classifications and characteristics of muscle
tension dysphonia are presented so they can serve as
a guideline for the voice therapist in the evaluation
process and treatment of people with vocal disorders
secondary to muscle tension. Then, in the second part,
a clinical case is presented in which the therapeutic
approach is described after analyzing the associated
factors, the results and effectiveness of the treatment are
discussed. Therapy based in coordinating and balancing
the physiologic vocal systems can be an effective tool in
resolving cases of muscle tension dysphonia.
