“…The studies aim to detect a therapeutic effect or establish ‘proof of concept’. There are a small number of more recently emerging studies that show evidence of development into Robey Phase 2 studies . It should also be noted that the outcome measures used in many of these studies are commonly unsophisticated and potentially subject to significant bias.…”

“…However, it is important to observe that there is some emerging Robey Phase 2 (and 3) evidence that voice therapy can be effective in the management of mass lesions of the vocal folds often in combination with other forms of management such as surgery or medication. The strongest evidence is for voice therapy intervention for patients with laryngeal polyps either following surgery or as the primary treatment …”

[82][83][84] It should also be noted that the outcome measures used in many of these studies are commonly unsophisticated and potentially subject to significant bias. The visual (laryngoscopic) and auditory (voice quality) judgements are poorly defined, rarely use standard tools or procedures and commonly judged by clinicians involved in the patient's treatment (with no inter-or intrajudge reliability reporting).…”

Disruption to the RLN results in immobility to one of the vocal folds resulting in glottal incompetence due to poor vocal fold adduction.…”

“…[7] To date, several studies have been conducted regarding the evaluation of vocal polyps following surgical treatment and therapy. [8][9][10] In these studies, alterations in the voice analysis parameters have been shown after treatment. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study regarding the change in voice analysis parameters according to the localization of the polyp in the vocal fold.…”

Objectives:This study aims to analyze the differences in voice acoustic analysis according to the localization of polyps in the vocal fold. , a total of 52 patients (38 males, 14 females; mean age 40.5 years; range, 23 to 61 years) with a vocal polyp were retrospectively analyzed. The length of the vocal fold was measured and the location of lesions were classified as anterior, anterior-middle, and middle. Fundamental frequency (F0mean, F0min, F0max), jitter, shimmer, noise harmonic ratio (NHR), and maximum phonation time (MPT) were also recorded.Results: Vocal polyps were localized in the anterior in 12, in the anterior-middle in 16, and in the middle in 24 patients. In the intra-group analyses, MPT, F0min, and NHR were found to be statistically significant. According to the overall average, MPT in the anterior group, shimmer and NHR in the anterior-middle group, and F0mean and F0min values in the middle group were found to be significant. Conclusion:In vocal polyps, MPT was shorter in anterior lesions, the F0 mean value was high in middle lesions, and voice quality was more affected in the anterior-middle lesions, as the vocal fold vibration stability was disrupted and the noise parameter was high.

Dysarthria is common in movement disorders, such as Wilson's disease (WD), Parkinson's disease, or Huntington's disease. Dysarthria severity assessment is often indispensable for the management of these diseases. However, such assessment is usually labor‐intensive, time‐consuming, and expensive. To seek efficient and cost‐effective solutions for dysarthria assessment, an artificial intelligence (AI)‐powered acoustic analysis system is proposed and its performance in a valuable sample of WD, an ideal disease model with mainly mixed dysarthria, is verified. A test‐retest reliability analysis yields excellent reproducibility in the acoustic measures (mean intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.81). Then, a system for dysarthria assessment is trained with WD patients (n = 65) and sex‐matched healthy controls (n = 65) using a machine learning approach. The system achieves reasonable performance in evaluating dysarthria severity with either stepwise classification or regression (all areas under the curve >80%; mean absolute error = 6.25, r = 0.79, p < 0.0001). The diadochokinesis and sustained phonation tasks contribute the most to prediction, and the corresponding acoustic features can provide significant and independent contributions. The present study demonstrates the feasibility and good performance of the AI‐powered acoustic analysis framework, offering the potential to facilitate early screening and subsequent management of dysarthria.
