Clinical Voice Outcomes for Two Voice Rest Protocols after Phonomicrosurgery.

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.
