“…Videolaryngostroboscopic images will be used for blinded analysis by independent laryngologists and SLTs to rate a series of parameters including, vocal fold appearance, closure pattern, glottal symmetry, vocal fold movement, and mucosal wave. Two rating scales have been modi ed from published scales (47,48) and replicate the scales used in a recently published paper (49).…”

Background: Management of benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) is variable with some receiving surgery, voice therapy or a combination of these approaches. Some evidence suggests that the best outcomes may be achieved when patients are offered pre and post-operative voice therapy in addition to phonosurgery, but what constitutes pre and post-operative voice therapy is poorly described. The pre and post-operative voice therapy (PaPOV) intervention has been developed and described according to the TiDIER checklist and Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System for voice. The PaPOV intervention is delivered by specialist speech and language therapists trained in the intervention and comprises 7 essential and 4 additional components, delivered in voice therapy sessions with patients who are having surgery on their vocal folds for removal of BVFLs. Study Design: Non-randomised, multicentre feasibility trial with embedded process evaluation Method: 40 patients from two sites who are due to undergo phonosurgery will be recruited to receive the PaPOV intervention. Measures of feasibility, including recruitment, retention, and adherence will be assessed. The feasibility of gathering clinical and cost effectiveness data will be measured pre treatment, then at 3 and 6 months post-operatively. An embedded process evaluation will be undertaken to explain feasibility findings. Discussion: This study will assess the feasibility of delivering a described voice therapy intervention protocol to patients who are undergoing surgery for removal of benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs). Findings will be used to inform the development and implementation of a subsequent effectiveness trial, should this be feasible.
