As such, the major perceptual signs of vocal fold nodules include vocal hoarseness and breathiness.

- Vocal cord nodule

This technique can be used to treat stuttering, breathing, dysprosody, dysphonia, and to increase control of breathing, phrasing, and rhythm.

- Voice therapy

The two main methods of treating vocal fold nodules are voice therapy (a behavioural treatment) and laryngeal microsurgery (a surgical treatment).

- Vocal cord nodule

Other voice disorders such as vocal nodules, are also common in children, particularly before the onset of puberty with an incidence of 17-30%.

- Voice therapy

A combination of both an indirect treatment method (an approach used to change external factors affecting the vocal folds) and a direct treatment method (an approach used where the mechanisms functioning during the use of the vocal folds, such as phonation or respiration, are the main focus) may be used to treat dysphonia.

- Hoarse voice

The most common laryngeal diagnosis among children is vocal fold nodules, a condition known to be associated with vocally damaging behaviours.
