Bilateral Vocal Nodules Multidimensional Assessment: Pre- and Post- Speech Language Pathology Intervention

(1) Background: Vocal fold nodules are bilateral lesions that can have an important negative impact on a person’s job performance, social interaction, and quality of life. This study aims to analyze multidimensional voice evaluation outcomes in group patients with vocal who underwent therapy. (2) Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed 42 the following evaluations, before after therapy: visual-perceptual (video-laryngostroboscopic evaluation), auditory-perceptual based GRBAS scale, aerodynamic analysis. Data were collected from January 2001 December 2019. analyses non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon test) using α = 0.05. (3) Results: The patient average age 33.6.1 ± 10 years (range 19–60), 95.2% female. Voice therapy delivered by experienced speech-language pathologist once week, 9.8 3 appointments 8–17). disappeared 40.4% therapy, especially participants receiving early (p 0.035). When comparing pre- post-therapy audio-perceptual results, all parameters improved statistical significance < 0.05) except for asthenic scale.
