Scalp scaling is a frequent and persistent issue that causes a lot of pain, discomfort, and social stigma. Scaling or flaking of the scalp simply denotes a higher rate of epidermal cell turnover. The scalp may be affected locally or diffusely. Although it is frequently asymptomatic, more severe cases may result in pruritus. Scaling may develop as a result of dry scalp and the vulnerability of the skin's outermost layer, variation in sebaceous gland secretion as in seborrheic dermatitis, immune mediated in which activated T cells penetrate the dermis and trigger cytokines, increasing the development of keratinocytes as in psoriasis, and may be associated with alopecia, a common condition in youngsters and frequently connected to tinea capitis. Another indicator of atopic dermatitis is scaling on the scalp. Scaling of the scalp may be present in around half of all children with atopic dermatitis, according to studies of infants 0 to 6 months old and kids from birth to 12 years old. Many medical experts are unaware that scalp scaling is a sign of atopic dermatitis, despite the topic being rarely covered in texts.

The purpose of this paper was to clarify levels of evidence pertaining to the efficacy of voice therapies up to the present. I applied the existing literature about the efficacy of voice therapies since the 1980's to the evidence levels proposed by Butler (2001). The results revealed a number of efficacy studies of therapeutic techniques exhibiting a high evidence level, and these were based on well-designed research. As the number of such studies based on well-designed research has now begun to increase, voice therapy is finally evolving from a simple art to an art with a science.
