Objectives: Voice rest is commonly recommended for patients with benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs) after phonomicrosurgery. The study compares the clinical voice outcomes of two protocols, 7-day complete voice rest (CVR) and 3-day CVR followed by 4-day relative voice rest (CVR + RVR), for patients with BVFLs after phonomicrosurgery.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized controlled trial.
Objective: This case comparison explored the relation between personality, perceived present control, and postoperative voice rest (as estimated by self-report and objective voice use) following surgery for benign vocal fold lesions.
Method: Two participants were included. Both participants were diagnosed with benign vocal fold pathology, underwent phonosurgery, and were assigned to either complete voice rest (CVR) or relative voice rest (RVR) postoperatively.
Purpose: The study was aimed at assessing the suitability of English-language Internet health information related to vocal hygiene, vocal health, and prevention of voice disorders. We also examined the relation between suitability, readability, and quality of Internet health information.
Method: Suitability of 77 websites from Dueppen et al was assessed using the Suitability Assessment of Materials tool.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the readability and quality of English-language Internet information related to vocal hygiene, vocal health, and prevention of voice disorders. This study extends recent work because it evaluates readability, content quality, and website origin across broader search criteria than previous studies evaluating online voice material.
Method: Eighty-five websites were aggregated using five different country-specific search engines.
