“…On the other hand, many authors suggest speech therapy as the primary indication for treating vocal polyps. 4 7 14 15 16 55 56 57 58 59 60 After his literature review, Jonhs 7 stated that, regardless of the maturity of the polypoid lesion, speech therapy should be proposed in all cases of vocal behavior alterations. He underscored that it should be prioritized for laryngeal surgery regardless of whether the cause is intensive, inadequate or abusive voice use.…”

Introduction Vocal fold polyps are one of the most frequent benign laryngeal lesions, impacting the quality of life of those affected by them, primarily the vocal production. Despite being a well-established therapy in conjunction with surgery, speech therapy alone may also be effective in treating these lesions. As such, otolaryngologists and speech therapists need updated bibliographic knowledge on the issue. Objective To describe the literature findings on vocal fold polyps that discuss prevalence, etiology, histology, physiopathology, vocal characteristics or treatment. Data Synthesis The present study is a review article based on a bibliographic search using platforms, databases and search engines, with no restrictions on means of publication, methodological quality or language. All the articles on vocal fold polyps pertaining to the object of study published in the past 15 years were included. Among the characteristics investigated, the most discussed were prevalence of men, smoking as an etiological cofactor, the possibility of histological differentiation from vocal nodules, the relationship with cover minor structural alterations, and the indication and effectiveness of different treatment options. Conclusion Despite the discrepancies found in the present literature review on vocal fold polyps, there has been a notable scientific progress in the otolaryngologic techniques and in the effectiveness of speech therapy as initial treatment, with direct and indirect techniques, corroborating the need for scientific investigation of the issue.

“…Table 4 shows the modification of URICA-Voice questionnaire items by comparison of the responses given by the patients in the pre-and post-therapy stages. The items on the questionnaire that showed the most significant change in the responses between the two stages were: 3,16,17,19,21,24, and 28. In each of these questions, post-therapy responses had a number equal to or significantly less than the pre-therapy stage among patients with behavioral dysphonia.…”

“…This data can be justified by the difficulty of approaching the vocal folds due to the presence of mass lesions in the closed phase of the glottic cycle, that causes an increase in vocal effort and roughness and can generate an unpleasant proprioceptive and auditory sensation in the individual, that motivates their search for the speech therapy for voice (24) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a efetividade da terapia de grupo no estágio de prontidão de pacientes com disfonia comportamental, bem como identificar que itens da Escala URICA-Voz são mais sensíveis a mudanças pós-terapia de grupo em pacientes com disfonia comportamental. Método Trata-se de um estudo de intervenção realizado com 49 pacientes com disfonia comportamental. A terapia de grupo ocorreu em oito sessões, sendo a primeira e a última de avaliação e as outras seis terapêuticas, com abordagem eclética. A escala URICA-Voz foi utilizada para avaliar o estágio de prontidão em que o paciente se encontra nos momentos pré e pós-terapia de grupo para voz. Foi realizada uma análise estatística descritiva e inferencial para a análise dos resultados. Resultados A maioria dos pacientes que participaram deste estudo era do gênero feminino, não faziam uso profissional da voz e tinham lesão membranosa da prega vocal. A maior parte estava no estágio de Contemplação tanto no momento pré quanto pós-terapia. Houve mudança significativa na comparação do pré e pós-terapia, a maioria dos pacientes apresentou redução no estágio de prontidão e poucos avançaram para um estágio maior. Na comparação dos itens da Escala URICA-V, sete questões apresentaram respostas iguais ou inferiores no momento pós-terapia. Conclusão Não houve diferença estatística ao se comparar as médias do escore total URICA-V no pré e pós-terapia de grupo. Houve mudanças significativas dos estágios de prontidão dos pacientes nos momentos pré e pós-terapia fonoaudiológica de grupo. Sete itens da URICA-V tiveram número igual ou menor no momento pós-intervenção entre os pacientes avaliados.
