Voice bubbling therapy for vocal cord dysfunction in difficult-to-treat asthma - a pilot study.

Objective: Dysfunctional breathing often coexists with asthma and complicates asthma control, especially in difficult-to-treat asthma. Voice bubbling therapy (VBT) by a specialized speech therapist may influence the breathing pattern. This pilot study investigated the effect of voice bubbling therapy (VBT) in participants with difficult-to-treat asthma, who fulfilled criteria for dysfunctional breathing pattern.
