• Clinical responses following inspiratory muscle training in exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction 

      Sandnes, Astrid; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Hilland, Magnus; Heimdal, John-Helge; Halvorsen, Thomas; Røksund, Ola Drange; Vollsæter, Maria (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Purpose Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is relatively common in young people. Treatment rests on poor evidence; however, inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been proposed a promising strategy. We aimed to ...
    • Conundrums in the breathless athlete; exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction or asthma? 

      Jansrud, Ida; Halvorsen, Thomas; Vollsæter, Maria; Hilland, Magnus; Heimdal, John-Helge; Røksund, Ola Drange; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Purpose: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) are the two disorders commonly considered when athletes complain of exertional dyspnea. They are highly different but ...
    • Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction in athletes treated with inspiratory muscle training 

      Sandnes, Astrid; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Hilland, Magnus; Vollsæter, Maria; Heimdal, John-Helge; Eide, Geir Egil; Halvorsen, Thomas; Røksund, Ola Drange (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-18)
      Background Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is common in athletes and presents with dyspnoea, chest tightness, inspiratory stridor and sometimes panic reactions. The evidence for conservative treatment is weak, ...
    • Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction: natural history and effect of surgical treatment 

      Maat, Robert Christiaan; Hilland, Magnus; Røksund, Ola Drange; Halvorsen, Thomas; Olofsson, Jan; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Heimdal, John-Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-05)
      The current follow-up study concerning the supraglottic type of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) was performed to reveal the natural history of supraglottic EILO and compare the symptoms, as well as the laryngeal ...
    • Exercise-induced Laryngeal Obstruction: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Treatment Trial 

      Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Røksund, Ola Drange; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Heimdal, John-Helge; Karlsen, Tom; Hilland, Magnus; Fretheim-Kelly, Zoe; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Sandnes, Astrid; Hjelle, Sigrun Margrethe; Vollsæter, Maria; Halvorsen, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a common cause of exertional breathing problems in young individuals, caused by paradoxical inspiratory adduction of laryngeal structures, and diagnosed by ...
    • Laryngeal response patterns influence the efficacy of mechanical assisted cough in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 

      Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Sandnes, Astrid; Brekka, Anne Kristine; Hilland, Magnus; Clemm, Hege; Fondenes, Ove; Tysnes, Ole Bjørn; Heimdal, John-Helge; Halvorsen, Thomas; Vollsæter, Maria; Røksund, Ola Drange (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Background: Most patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are treated with mechanical insufflation–exsufflation (MI-E) in order to improve cough. This method often fails in ALS with bulbar involvement, allegedly ...
    • Severe exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction treated with supraglottoplasty 

      Sandnes, Astrid; Hilland, Magnus; Vollsæter, Maria; Andersen, Tiina Maarit; Engesæter, Ingvild Øvstebø; Sandvik, Lorentz; Heimdal, John-Helge; Halvorsen, Thomas; Eide, Geir Egil; Røksund, Ola Drange; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-31)
      Introduction: Exercise induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is relatively common in adolescents, with symptoms often confused with exercise induced asthma. EILO often starts with medial or inward rotation of supraglottic ...
    • Tailoring NIV by dynamic laryngoscopy in a child with spinal muscular atrophy type I 

      Vollsæter, Maria; Skjoldmo, Anett; Røksund, Ola Drange; Hilland, Magnus; Andersen, Tiina Maarit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Dynamic laryngoscopy during noninvasive (NIV) respiratory therapy is feasible and may facilitate optimal and individualized treatment in patients with chronic respiratory failure, also in children.
    • Use of inhaled ipratropium bromide to improve exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction cannot be recommended 

      Muralitharan, Praveen; Carlsen, Petter; Hilland, Magnus; Delestre-Levai, Irisz; Vollsæter, Maria; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Engan, Mette; Røksund, Ola Drange; Halvorsen, Thomas; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Introduction: Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a common cause of exertional breathing problems in young adults. Current management generally consists of breathing advice, speech therapy, inspiratory muscle ...
