Abstract

Quality of life is multidimensional and comprises physical, emotional, and social aspects. It has always been the implicit focus of medical work. However, since the 1980s it has been possible to measure it explicitly. Quality of life is impaired in dysphonic patients; this finding is supported by specific studies on self-reported physical, emotional, and social well-being. For practical application of these data, it is recommended to measure all three domains. From a therapeutic point of view, verbal intervention following the PLISSIT model (permission, limited information, special suggestions, intensive therapy) has been proven to enhance patient satisfaction. Therefore, this clinical procedure is recommended for routine application in dysphonic patients.
