Clinical effectiveness of telerehabilitation in voice therapy programs for dysphonia.

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.
