Therapy with a speech-language pathologist for EILO allowed for more frequent physical activity following therapy completion and decreased dyspnea symptoms 6-month posttherapy. Therapy was associated with a decrease in inhaler use. PedsQL scores indicated mildly poor health-related quality of life even after EILO symptoms improved. Findings support therapy as an effective treatment for EILO in teenage athletes and suggest that dyspnea symptoms may continue to improve following discharge as patients continue using therapy techniques.
