This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach to functional voice disorders—conditions where your voice is affected by tension or stress, not by physical damage to your vocal cords. The study investigates whether heart rate biofeedback, a breathing exercise technique that uses real-time feedback to help you regulate your nervous system, can improve voice problems either on its own or combined with traditional voice therapy.
Standard voice therapy doesn't always work for everyone, and researchers believe that problems with how your nervous system regulates stress and tension may play an important role in functional voice disorders. This treatment aims to address that underlying nervous system imbalance rather than just treating voice symptoms alone.

You will practice guided breathing exercises for about 20 minutes daily (two 10-minute sessions) for one month. One session each week will be at the clinic with a therapist guiding you, and the other sessions will be at home using a heart rate monitor and a smartphone app. The app will customize breathing patterns to your individual physiology and provide real-time feedback to help you train your heart rate rhythm.
