ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the effect of speech-language-hearing therapy using the Comprehensive Vocal Rehabilitation Program (CVRP) combined with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in female pop singers with vocal complaints, using cepstral measures (CPP and CPPs) and auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice. Methods This experimental study included 30 pop singers, both amateur and professional, with vocal complaints. Acoustic and perceptual-auditory assessments were conducted before and after six weeks of intervention, which involved CVRP exercises combined with TENS. Voice samples were analyzed using Praat software to measure CPP and CPPs. Results CPP and CPPs measures increased significantly after therapy, indicating improved periodicity and reduced vocal noise. The auditory-perceptual evaluation also indicated significantly improved vocal quality, with reduced hoarseness. Conclusion The combined therapy with CVRP and TENS significantly improved the vocal quality of singers with vocal complaints, confirmed by increases in cepstral measures and auditory-perceptual evaluation.
