Healthcare professionals:
1. Experienced (defined as holding a regular ILO caseload for >3 years) in assessing, diagnosing and delivering nonpharmacological treatment to adults with ILO
Treatment naïve patients:
1. An established diagnosis of ILO based on i) clinical evaluation AND ii) endoscopic visualisation of laryngeal obstruction during a symptomatic episode
2. >18 years old
3. Have not received and completed non-pharmacological / behavioural therapy intervention for ILO
Post-treatment patients:
1. An established diagnosis of ILO based on i) clinical evaluation and ii) endoscopic visualisation of laryngeal obstruction during a symptomatic episode
2. >18 years old
3. Have received and completed a non-pharmacological behavioural therapy intervention for ILO
Healthcare professionals:
1. Healthcare professionals who have no specialist experience in assessing, diagnosing and delivering nonpharmacological treatment to adults with ILO
Treatment naïve patients:
1. Have received any previous therapy intervention for ILO, refractory chronic cough or upper airway symptoms (e.g.
muscle tension dysphonia, globus pharyngeaous)
2. Have uncontrolled asthma airway inflammation or obstruction (defined as fractional exhaled nitric oxide >50ppb,
FEV1/FVC <70%)
Post-treatment patients:
1. Have completed a non-pharmacological behavioural therapy intervention for ILO greater than 4 months prior to study
2. Have uncontrolled airway inflammation or obstruction (defined as fractional exhaled nitric oxide >50ppb, FEV1/FVC
<70%)
