Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare face-to-face group voice therapy to telepractice group voice therapy for muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The effectiveness of telepractice voice therapy for MTD using a randomized controlled trial study design.
* The effectiveness of telepractice group voice therapy using a randomized controlled trial study design.

Participants will receive telepractice group voice therapy or face-to-face group voice therapy. Researchers will compare telepractice group voice therapy to face-to-face group voice therapy for patients with MTD to see if it has the same effectiveness.

Conditions

  • Voice Disorders
  • Muscle Tension Dysphonia
  • Aphonia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Telepractice group voice therapy

* Voice therapy delivered in group basis via telepractice. * The voice therapy program will include both indirect and direct voice therapy, in accordance with the current best practice recommendations. Indirect voice therapy will include information counselling on voice production and disorder and vocal hygiene. Direct voice therapy will adopt the resonant voice therapy approach and also head and neck relaxation exercises, which has shown to be effective for muscle tension dysphonia.

BEHAVIORAL

Face-to-face group voice therapy

* Voice therapy that will be delivered in group basis in-person with patients. * The voice therapy program will include both indirect and direct voice therapy, in accordance with the current best practice recommendations.
