Abstract: . Several treatment options are described for patients with vocal cord dysfunction. At Karolinska University hospital, these patients are offered treatment by speech and language pathologists. The current study describes traits and treatment effects for 148 people diagnosed with exercise-induced vocal cord dysfunction at Karolinska University hospital who received treatment by speech and language pathologists in 2005-2012. Data were collected from medical records and through a questionnaire that was sent to the 148 individuals. 52 individuals answered the questionnaire which gave a response rate of 35 %. 84,6 % felt helped by the treatment. 42 individuals still practiced athletics to the same extent, and had not received treatment by other professions. Of these 42, 81 % were described through medical records and 62 % through questionnaire responses, having milder symptoms and/or an ability to control symptoms. The results indicate that logopedic respiratory retraining therapy could be effective for these patients.
