[Therapy of psychogenic aphonias using endolaryngeal faradization].

Endolaryngeal faradization has been used for phoniatric treatment in 65 cases of psychogenic aphonia between 1975 and 1985. A review of the patient's records as well as a phoniatrical follow up examination (33 patients) revealed that this symptomatic treatment method is highly successful, with stable results in many cases. Moreover, return of phonation need not be achieved in a single session.
