Abstract
Background: Several behavioural voice treatment procedures have been suggested for unilateral
vocal fold paresis. Here practical considerations of electro stimulation procedures
are discussed. In contrast to behavioural therapy, electro stimulation therapy is
performed in a home based procedure. Since this therapy procedure has proven to be
at least equally efficient as behavioural therapy, it should be considered if behavioural
therapy cannot be advised (e.g. if patients have to wait to long for an appointment
with the therapist).
