Article Synopsis
- Dysphonia, or trouble speaking clearly, is common in people with asthma and might be caused by inhaled medications, but researchers think it might actually be due to how the voice box works instead.
- In a study, they looked at 68 women with asthma who used inhaled corticosteroids and compared them to 53 women without asthma. They found that a lot more asthma patients had voice problems (66.2%) compared to the control group (11.3%).
- The researchers found that the voice problems in asthma patients weren't linked to throat infections or serious throat damage, but showed that asthma patients had more difficulty with how their voice box works when talking than the healthy women did.
