PURPOSE: The main aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of speech therapy, delivered via tele-practice to patients with dysphonia. A secondary aim was to verify whether a telerehabilitation-only protocol could have a clinical efficacy similar to a combined telerehabilitation and in-person approach.
METHODS: Thirty-two consecutive patients undergoing telerehabilitation for dysphonia were retrospectively considered. Patients were divided into two groups: those who received combined in-person and telerehabilitation treatment, and those who underwent telerehabilitation only.
RESULTS: Overall, patients included in this study showed a significant improvement in their VHI-10 scores after treatment (p < 0.001). Such an improvement was also significant in both combined therapy and telerehabilitation only groups (p = 0.019, and p = 0.002, respectively). A significant reduction in general degree of dysphonia (G), roughness (R), breathiness (B) and strain (S) scores (p < 0.001, p = 0.012, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively) was noticed over the whole sample after treatment. The same parameters showed a significant improvement also in the combined therapy group, while in the telerehabilitation only group, only G, B and S scores significantly improved. Mean phonation time, Jitter and Shimmer values significantly improved in the overall sample as well as in the combined therapy group. A significantly more favorable spectrographic class relative to the vowel /a/ was found after treatment in the whole sample, as well as in both combined therapy and telerehabilitation only groups (p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.004, respectively).
CONCLUSION: This study's results seem to support telerehabilitation as a potentially effective tool to administer speech therapy in dysphonic patients, both as a single modality and in combination with traditional in-person sessions. To better characterize the clinical results of telerehabilitation in dysphonia treatment, large-scale prospective investigations are mandatory.
