Perceptual Clinical Features in Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO): Toward Improved Diagnostic Approaches
2019, Journal of VoiceCitation Excerpt :In addition to gaps in identifiable features indicative of ELBD (in general) and EILO (more specifically), there are also gaps in our understanding of etiological mechanisms underlying these clinical presentations. Previous literature has frequently alluded to high stress reactivity and poor temperament/self-regulation as a cause of EILO32–38; these traits have been most commonly attributed to the high-achieving, competitive, and anxious nature in athletes with the exercise variant.36,39 Unfortunately, this theory is largely unsubstantiated due to lack of empirical evidence.
Speech-Language Pathology as a Primary Treatment for Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction
2018, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :In treating EILO, SLPs use various approaches of breathing and relaxation techniques to guide the patient through symptom prevention, control, and rescue breathing during their dyspneic episodes. The literature suggests positive patient response to behavioral intervention for EILO.1–14 It has been reported that behavioral intervention by SLPs may prevent up to 90% of patient visits to the emergency room for symptoms attributable to inducible laryngeal obstruction, although this finding is not specific to patients with exercise-induced symptoms.15
Exercise inducible laryngeal obstruction: diagnostics and management
2017, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Inhaled ipratropium bromide applied locally prior to activity has been reported to prevent exercise induced VCD [82]. Different forms of biofeedback techniques have been proposed [83,84], as has inspiratory muscle training [85–88]. Laser supraglottoplasty has been used to treat patients with severe supraglottic e-ILO and positive effects have been reported by several research groups [41,52,54–58,69,89–91].

2015, Journal of the Formosan Medical AssociationLaryngeal movements during inspiratory muscle training in healthy subjects
2013, Journal of VoiceCitation Excerpt :There is little robust evidence about effects of intervention to reduce airway obstructions originating in the larynx during exercise. Speech therapy has been reported as a mainstay,6–13 while psychotherapy,14 relaxation therapy,15 hypnosis,16 biofeedback techniques,17,18 anticholinergic aerosols,19 and surgical laser supraglottoplasty20–24 have also been advocated. The common goal of these interventions has been to increase the size of the laryngeal inlet during the increasing airflow velocity induced by increasing exercise intensity.
