UPDATES IN LARYNGOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON DYSPHONIA

Abstract
The voice is a current topic of focused research in the field of otorhinnolaryngology. There are, however, no evidence-based studies focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of dysphonia - particularly of non-organic dysphonia (with or without small swellings of the vocal cords). Qualitative measurement methods have been well-established among laryngologists, but quantitative methods which would facilitate documentation of treatment effects in prospective, randomized clinical trials with follow-up are lacking. New quantitative measurement options are discussed.

Key words
laringology, videostroboscopy, acoustics, mucosa, functional aspects
