“…Moreover, the influence of singing training on measures of voice quality is also well documented [63,64]. Dastolfo-Hromack et al [65] investigated singing voice outcomes following singing voice therapy in patients with functional and organic dysphonia. Post-therapeutically, sVHI scores decreased without significant differences between both groups.…”

Depending on individual medical indication, phonosurgery, logopedic treatment and voice teaching are all effective, objectively and subjectively satisfactory therapies to improve the impaired singing voice. The use of VEM in singers with functional and organic dysphonia objectifies and quantifies their vocal capacity as documented in the VRP. Complementing the established DSI, VEM introduction into practical objective voice diagnostics is appropriate and desirable especially for the treatment of singers.

“…Singing pedagogy has proposed many techniques and teachings for the development of the human voice through the use of artistic intuition throughout human history. Singing voice therapy (SVT) [2,3], which has an important role in the vocal habilitation and rehabilitation of singers, is one of the basic tools of pedagogical vocology and the main field of application for safe and sustainable vocal performance throughout professional life.…”

Introduction. Singing is a type of sportive activity and, like sports medicine, professional voice medicine is interested in the habilitation and rehabilitation of the vocal performer. The vocal needs of the professional vocal performer may not be similar to other professional or non-professional voice users. Like a professional athlete, a vocal performer’s ability to perform for many decades at a high level will be enhanced by basing artistic and lifestyle decisions on a scientifically sound foundation. Objective. The aim of this study is to present a multidimensional introduction to the methods of SVT, incorporating the principles of sport and exercise medicine, and physical therapy and rehabilitation. Reflection. Singing voice therapy needs to provide answers to “what”, “why”, “how”, and “when” questions. SVT must first correctly identify the problem, leading to the “how to do” solutions for a wide variety of cases, followed by a schedule of prescribed activities including answers to the “why” question (which exercise relates to which muscle). The periodization and motor learning principles provide a temporal answer to the “when” question when developing habilitation and/or rehabilitative protocols. Conclusion. Singing is not only an artistic expression, but also a sportive performance. The clinical approach to professional voice is a multidimensional and multi-layered team effort. All practices are structured by blending scientific and pedagogical knowledge.

Background/ObjectivesThe Singing Voice Handicap Index‐10 (SVHI‐10) is a validated patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) that assesses patients' perception of handicap related to singing voice. A normative value has been established with a score ≥20 being abnormal. However, there is no defined minimal clinically important difference (MCID). This study prospectively determines the MCID of SVHI‐10 among a diverse group of singers.Methods103 adult singers with and without voice complaints completed SVHI‐10 twice, 30 days apart. MCID for the SVHI‐10 was determined using distribution‐based receiver‐operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.ResultsTwenty‐two men (1 transgender), 75 women (1 transgender), and 6 nonbinary individuals participated. The most frequently reported singing genres were classical (44.7%), musical theater (17.5%), and pop (10.7%). Mean initial SVHI‐10 score was 13.05 (standard deviation 7.397), and mean follow‐up SVHI‐10 was 13.13 (7.994). There was a significant positive correlation between initial and follow‐up SVHI‐10 scores (r = 0.879, p < 0.001). SVHI‐10 scores were significantly higher among participants who reported voice changes in the past year (p < 0.001) or sought voice treatment (p = 0.001) compared with participants who did not. SVHI‐10 scores varied significantly based on singing type. The area under the ROC curve for SVHI‐10 was 0.700 (p = 0.003). The SVHI‐10 MCID was determined to be 9.5.ConclusionsAn SVHI‐10 score change ≥10 should be considered clinically meaningful. This definition has been missing from the literature and will improve understanding of patients' responses to treatment, which will help advance clinical care and track research outcomes.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 2024
