“…VFP require multidimensional voice assessments (vocal fold imaging, auditory-perceptual judgment, acoustic and aerodynamic measurements, and patients' self-evaluation) [7]. Their results may be influenced by the size, form, mass, and base length of the polyp and the resulting changing area and shape of the glottal gap during phonation [8]. In the treatment of VFPs, phonosurgery is often the first choice [9,10], but behavioral voice therapy (VT) is also recommended as an effective treatment modality, either as a stand-alone treatment or combined with phonosurgery [11].…”

Background: Vocal fold polyps (VFP) are a common cause of voice disorders and laryngeal discomfort. They are usually treated by behavioral voice therapy (VT) or phonosurgery, or a combination (CT) of both. However, the superiority of either of these treatments has not been clearly established. Methods: Three databases were searched from inception to October 2022 and a manual search was performed. All clinical trials of VFP treatment were included that reported at least auditory–perceptual judgment, aerodynamics, acoustics, and the patient-perceived handicap. Results: We identified 31 eligible studies (VT: n = 47–194; phonosurgery: n = 404–1039; CT: n = 237–350). All treatment approaches were highly effective, with large effect sizes (d > 0.8) and significant improvements in almost all voice parameters (p-values < 0.05). Phonosurgery reduced roughness and NHR, and the emotional and functional subscales of the VHI-30 were the most compared to behavioral voice therapy and combined treatment (p-values < 0.001). Combined treatment improved hoarseness, jitter, shimmer, MPT, and the physical subscale of the VHI-30 more than phonosurgery and behavioral voice therapy (p-values < 0.001). Conclusions: All three treatment approaches were effective in eliminating vocal fold polyps or their negative sequelae, with phonosurgery and combined treatment providing the greatest improvement. These results may inform future treatment decisions for patients with vocal fold polyps.

“…This variability can be influenced by context, emotional state or listener's attention [3,4]. The objective evaluation of the voice based on the acoustic analysis makes it possible to make measurements, obtain indices, identify trends, and do so quantitatively and objectively [5]. This instrumental method can assist the speech language pathologist in assessing the quality of the voice during the rehabilitation period [6][7][8].…”

Acoustic Analysis of Voice Signal of Patients with Unilateral Laryngeal Paralysis a View to Objective Evaluation after Rehabilitation

We propose in this study an acoustic analysis called objective, based on physical measurements, to extract the acoustic characteristics of the voice of patients with Unilateral Laryngeal Paralysis. Our experiments were made at the Otorhinolaryngology service of the hospital of Bab El Oued. Algiers. (Algeria). In this work, an acoustic analysis of the vocal signal is based on measurements of the instability of the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations of the vocal cords. The results obtained are compared with those of a group of reference of subjects who normally speak. The study of the results obtained by the acoustic analysis of the pathological voice during the rehabilitation phase shows a strong correlation of the acoustic parameters between the pathological voice and the reference one. The exclusive use of hearing to evaluate the effect of voice rehabilitation in the Algerian hospital environment remains insufficient. It is important to correlate the perceptual information with the interpreted acoustic measurements, in a manner to be able to develop a therapeutic project appropriate to the patient’s expectations and difficulties.

“…Instead, the patient's complaints can primarily be considered as a guide in clinical decision-making. [ 1 ] In a study of 94 patients diagnosed with vocal polyps, Jeong et al . [ 2 ] evaluated the outcome of conservative management.…”
