Utvärdering av kirurgisk behandling vid organiska stämbandsförändringar hos barn / Evaluation of Surgical Treatment in Children with Organic Vocal Fold Lesions

Karlhager, Johanna, Ström, Emelie January 2008 (has links)
<p>In Sweden surgical treatment of vocal fold lesions in children is fairly uncommon. At Falun hospital they have adapted a more generous attitude towards phonosurgery of children’s vocal folds. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate surgical treatment of organic vocal fold lesions in children and to assess the phonosurgical patient utility. The study was carried out at the Ear-, Nose- and Throat clinic, Falun hospital, Sweden. Based on case sheets, data was collected regarding the different vocal fold lesions that were surgically treated. The most frequent vocal fold abnormalities were vocal fold nodules, vocal fold cysts and sulcus/vergeture. Further on, assessment of pre- and postoperative voice recordings and stroboscopic examinations were carried out. The general tendency was that vocal fold closure and mucosal wave was estimated as normal or less abnormal following surgery in most patients. Postoperatively, hoarseness, breathiness and roughness were estimated to be significantly lower. For hyperfunction, only a tendency to lower occurrence was observed. The estimation of high pitch was similar pre- and postoperatively. A mail questionnaire showed that most patients/parents estimated a high degree of perceived voice related problems preoperatively. Most patients rated their own vocal function at the time of the study as highly functional. The majority were satisfied with the choice of undergoing surgical treatment. The conclusion was that surgical treatment may be a good option in organic vocal fold lesions in children.</p> / <p>I Sverige är kirurgisk behandling vid stämbandsförändringar hos barn relativt ovanligt. Vid Falu lasarett har man en generösare inställning till fonokirurgi av barns stämband. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utvärdera kirurgisk behandling vid organiska stämbandsförändringar hos barn för att bedöma vilket värde fonokirurgi har för patienten. Studien genomfördes vid Öron-, Näs- och Halskliniken, Falu lasarett. Journaluppgifter inhämtades angående vilka olika stämbandsförändringar som åtgärdats kirurgiskt. De vanligast förekommande stämbandsförändringarna var knottror, cystor samt sulcus/vergeture. Vidare genomfördes bedömning av pre- och postoperativa röstinspelningar och stroboskopiska undersökningar. Den generella tendensen var att stämbandsslutning och slemhinnevåg i större utsträckning skattades normal eller mindre avvikande efter operation i jämförelse med före operation. Förekomst av röstparametrarna heshet, läckage och skrovlighet bedömdes vara signifikant lägre efter kirurgi. För press kunde endast tendens till lägre förekomst observeras medan det generellt höga röstläget skattades lika före och efter operation. Genom en enkät framkom att flertalet patienter/patienters målsmän skattade förhållandevis höga värden av upplevda röstbesvär före operation. Flertalet skattade höga värden angående hur väl rösten fungerade vid studiens genomförande. Majoriteten var nöjd med valet att genomgå operation. Slutsatsen var att kirurgisk behandling kan vara ett bra behandlingsalternativ vid organiska stämbandsförändringar hos barn.</p>

Visual Feedback In Voice Therapy for Individuals with Parkinson's Disease

Convey, Rachel Brooke 01 January 2019 (has links)
Parkinson ’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects one’s movement. As the disease develops, individuals begin to present with symptoms that include but are not limited to bradykinesia, rigidity, tremors, and hypokinetic dysarthria. These symptoms affect a person’s entire body, including his/her voice. The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) program for treating individuals with PD is supported by over twenty-five years of research. It is considered a safe, non-invasive method to improve vocal loudness and speech clarity in individuals with PD. However, simply because LSVT is effective in its current state, it does not mean that the protocol is the most efficient or effective it can be. One potential shortcoming of LSVT is that it does not provide patients with much, if any, visual feedback. We hypothesized that visual feedback would enable the client to more easily produce a voice characterized by increased loudness and vocal quality. The results of the study do not fully support this hypothesis. There was less variability in the client’s performance within each session during the experimental weeks the patients performance over the course of the week improved, this pattern was not observed during the non-experimental weeks. Additionally, the participant expressed preference for treatment days when the visual feedback was used, finding it helpful in more effectively regulating the volume of his voice.
