Vocal cord dysfunction/inducible laryngeal obstruction: novel diagnostics and therapeutics.

Delayed diagnosis of VCD/ILO is pervasive, often leading to detrimental treatments. Phenotypes require validation and CT larynx can reduce the necessity for laryngoscopy, thereby fast-tracking diagnosis. MDT clinics can optimize management. Randomized controlled trials are essential to validate speech pathology intervention and other treatment modalities and to establish international standards of care.
