According to our previous study, lifestyle modification in combination with drug therapy is much more effective than drug therapy alone in cases of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Most patients with LPR will have chronic gastro-esophageal reflux diseases (GERD) and require long-term medical therapy for control, resulting in high total expenditure on pharmacologic agents. We combined pharmacologic management with lifestyle modifications for the management of GERD with successful outcomes in patients with GERD-related laryngeal granulomas. Although further studies are needed, guidance concerning lifestyle modifications in combination with PPI therapy may be not only a clinically effective but also a cost-effective method for the management of laryngeal granulomas caused by gastro-esophageal reflux.
