Summary

This study tested two treatments for paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM), a condition where the vocal cords close when they should open, causing shortness of breath. Fifty-one adults were randomly assigned to either biofeedback or laryngeal control therapy. The goal was to see which approach better reduced breathing difficulty, measured by a symptom questionnaire.
