Abstract EN
Backround : Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is the backflow of stomach contents above upper esophageal sphincter, into the pharynx, larynx, and upper aerodigestive system. Objectives: In this study, effects of omeprazole over voice quality in muscle tension dysphonia with laryngopharyngeal reflux was ınvestigated. Patients and Methods : Nine patients, 7 males and 2 females, aged between 27-43 (mean age:31) were included to this study.
The diagnosis of muscle tension dysphonia with LPR was established by videolaryngoscopy, rigid scope 70º.
The laryngeal changes related with LPR were evaluated according to Reflux Finding Score.
The patients received omeprazole 20mg twice a day for a period of 6 months.
None of the patients received voice therapy.
Vocal hygiene guidelines were also explained to the patients.
Objective and subjective voice parameters (Jitter, shimmer, NHR, Voice Handicap Index, and Auditive analysis; Roughness, breathiness, and hoarseness) were evaluated in this study. Results : After treatment with omeprazol, all the parameters showed an improvement in voice quality, but only VHI (P = 0) and shimmer (P = 0,018) are statistically significant. Conclusions : For FD patients with LPR condition, we highly recommend that LPR treatment should be part of the treatment plan.
