“…The medical community uses the labels "habit" cough, 13,15,17 "psychogenic" cough, 14,18 and "tic" cough in place of the label NSCC. 19 Sometimes the labels are used to describe the hypothesized etiology for the cough, whereas other times the labels are used incorrectly (e.g., a pediatrician may diagnose tic cough for all patients presenting with NSCC, regardless of etiology).…”

“…The sound of the cough ranges from a normal cough to a barking or honking sound. 8,13,15 It may occur once an hour, having been present for several years, or multiple times per minute, having a recent onset. It is usually diagnosed by a pulmonologist or allergist after the child has been treated by the pediatrician and has not responded to medications that alleviate the underlying condition causing the cough.…”

“…18,19 There have been many reports of cough onset coinciding with psychosocial problems such as school phobia, fear of rejection, and need for attention. 14,15,17 Despite their differences in etiologies, both habit and psychogenic cough respond positively to SLPdelivered behavioral therapy, 13,20,22 although in the case of the latter, a psychological evaluation may also be indicated. 20 A tic is defined as a "sudden, rapid, recurring, arrhythmic, stereotyped motor movement or vocalization."…”

Paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder and nonspecific chronic cough are laryngeal disorders that are newly identified within the speech-language pathologist's scope of practice. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of these disorders and providing practical and evidenced-based treatment is the focus of this article. Defining the role of the speech-language pathologist in treating these low incidence yet quickly remediated disorders provides the pediatric or school-based speech-language pathologist a unique service delivery challenge. A model that utilizes an interdisciplinary team to provide efficient and effective treatment outcomes is discussed.

Summarized by Carol WestbySeminars in Speech and Language, Volume 34, No. 1, is devoted to types and treatment of voice disorders in children. School speechlanguage pathologists (SLPs) may sometimes find it difficult to put children with voice problems on their caseloads because they must show how the disorder affects academic performance. The authors in this issue of Seminars make clear that pediatric voice disorders do impact academic performance. Voice disorders are associated with school absenteeism; decreased participation in academic classes, physical education, and extracurricular activities; and negative attention from classmates and school personnel, thus impacting academic performance and social well-being. Some voice disorders, such as vocal nodules, are familiar to SLPs; others, such as paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder (PVFMD) and nonspecific chronic cough (NSCC), are less familiar. In their article in this issue, Gallena and Kerins describe the nature, assessment, and treatment of NSCC and PVFMD. NSCC Nature and CharacteristicsNSCC is diagnosed when a cough persists beyond the acute period of illness (3 weeks for adults and 4 weeks for children) and is not associated with asthma, postnasal drip, or reflux.NSCC has several characteristic features (Bauer, Magers, McCubbin,

Somatoform respiratory disorders in children and adolescents—proposals for a practical approach to definition and classification

Somatoform respiratory disorders represent conditions with dysfunctional breathing unexplained by structural abnormalities. This heterogeneous group includes disorders with neural dysregulation of respiration (vocal cord dysfunction) or with dysregulation of the respiratory pattern (hyperventilation, sighing dyspnea), psychogenic disorders such as unjustified anxiety of suffocation, and stereotype conditions such as throat clearing or habit cough. Many symptoms are nonspecific and largely overlap with respiratory disease symptoms of somatic etiology. Most patients will present in a nonspecialized clinical setting. This article provides symptom-based criteria for the definition of somatoform respiratory disorders and their differentiation from somatic disease. Emphasis is put on clinical criteria which can be easily integrated in a routine setting. Owing to the multifaceted etiology of somatoform respiratory disorders therapeutic approaches integrating somatic medicine, respiratory therapy and psychology are crucial. The introduction of defined clinical criteria may facilitate the discrimination of somatoform respiratory disorders from somatic disorders in routine patient encounters and avoid therapeutic detours.
