Raspy Voice / Muscle Tension Dysphonia

Primary Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) can be associated with stress and anxiety. Recent research has shown that under periods of stress, the muscles that control the voice box become tense. Periods of prolonged muscle tension in the voice box can lead to an incoordination of the vocal control system.
