effects of omeprazole over voice quality in muscle tension dysphonia patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux
Authors
abstract
backround laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) is the backflow of stomach contents above upper esophageal sphincter, into the pharynx, larynx, and upper aerodigestive system. objectives in this study, effects of omeprazole over voice quality in muscle tension dysphonia with laryngopharyngeal reflux was ınvestigated. patients and methods nine patients, 7 males and 2 females, aged between 27-43 (mean age:31) were included to this study. the diagnosis of muscle tension dysphonia with lpr was established by video laryngoscopy, rigid scope 70º. the laryngeal changes related with lpr were evaluated according to reflux finding score. the patients received omeprazole 20 mg twice a day for a period of 6 months. none of the patients received voice therapy. vocal hygiene guidelines were also explained to the patients. objective and subjective voice parameters (jitter, shimmer, nhr, voice handicap index, and auditive analysis; roughness, breathiness, and hoarseness) were evaluated in this study. results after treatment with omeprazol, all the parameters showed an improvement in voice quality, but only vhi (p = 0) and shimmer (p = 0,018) are statistically significant. conclusions for fd patients with lpr condition, we highly recommend that lpr treatment should be part of the treatment plan.

full textDysphonia and laryngopharyngeal reflux.
The correlation between laryngo-pharyngeal reflux and dysphonia has been evaluated in patients without significant laryngoscopic findings and without vocal misuse. Studies were performed, using a validated questionnaire on typical reflux symptoms as well as instrumental means, e.g. videolaryngoscopy, multi-electrode 24-hr oesophageal pH monitoring, vocal acoustic analysis, gastro-oesophagoscopy...
full textEffects of Voice Therapy on Vocal Tract Discomfort in Muscle Tension Dysphonia
Introduction: Patients with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) suffer from several physical discomforts in their vocal tract. However, few studies have examined the effects of voice therapy (VT) on the vocal tract discomfort (VTD) in patients with voice disorders. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of VT on the VTD in patients with MTD. Materi...

Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is considered an important cause of voice disorder. We aimed to determine the frequency of LPR in patients with voice disorder and the association between Koufman Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Reflux Finding Score (RFS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and proximal acid reflux in these patients. Materials and Methods: We performed a prospective...

results certain correlations were found between fundamental frequency in vowel and total vhi, physical, functional and emotional domains of vhi in group 1 (r = 0.636, 0.649, 0.613 and 0.592 respectively). there was good correlation between speaking fundamental frequency and total vhi and its subscales - except the physical subscale - were also correlated. in group 2, the correlations between ji...
full textIs laryngopharyngeal reflux related to functional dysphonia?
OBJECTIVES Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) may be a contributing factor in chronic hoarseness. The association of LPR with functional dysphonia (FD), the most common voice clinic diagnosis, is unknown. We attempted to determine whether patients with FD have a higher rate of laryngeal exposure to acidic stomach contents than do healthy volunteers. METHODS We recruited through the voice clinic 2...
