“…Hence the differences between the SG and CG regarding the voice self-assessment in the current study (Table 1), the obtained scores in VoiSS, VHI and V-RQOL are within the expected to health voices 24 . Therefore, the menopausal women studied, despite the difference with the women in menacme, are probably due to the physiologic changes during climacteric and do not have big impact in daily life.…”

“…Therefore, the questionnaires were addressed to 975 adult subjects, 468 with dysphonia, and 489 vocally health. The ROC curve showed the more efficient questionnaires were VoiSS and VHI, with cutoff values for vocally health subjects lower than 16 point in VoiSS, lower than 19 points in VHI, and higher than 91.25 point in V-RQOL 24 .…”

“…Nevertheless, literature indicates one of the limitations imposed by voice disorder is the subjects do not perceive their voices at the same way, regardless of having the same diagnose 24 .…”

“…The questionnaire has two domains: physical (cutoff 89.60) ("I run out of breath and need to take frequent breaths when talking" / "I do not know what will come out when I begin speaking") and the socio-emotional (cutoff 65) ("I am anxious or frustrated" / "I avoid going out socially"), more the total score. The expected score to people without voice complaint is above 91.25 points 24 .…”

“…These data are interesting in voice clinic, once the objective assessment provide data about pathology and allow to plan the treatment, but do not allow the investigation under the patient point of view which are important to patient's adherence and treatment success [20][21][22][23][24][25] .…”

Purpose: to analyze the data of vocal self-assessment of menopausal women and compare them to those obtained by a control group. Methods: cross-sectional, observational and analytical study in which 42 women aged between 19 and 60 years, divided into control group (21 women in reproductive age) and study group (21 women in menopause). Each participant answered a questionnaire developed by the researchers, which contained data on: general health, treatments carried out, smoking, alcohol use, professional use of voice and gynecological data, and vocal self-assessment protocols Voice Symptom Scale, Voice Handicap Index and Voice-Related Quality of Life. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Pearson correlation, considering the significance level of 5%. Results: the study group had significantly higher levels in the functional domain of the Voice Handicap Index and significantly lower in the social-emotional domain Voice-Related Quality of Life. Nevertheless, the scores of these domains were as expected for healthy voices. There was no correlation between the results of vocal self-assessment and the time when women stopped menstruating.Conclusion: it appears that women in menopause, despite having differences with regard to women in reproductive age as the vocal self-assessment, present symptoms, quality of life in voice and voice handicap compatible with those presented by individuals with healthy voices.

Injection laryngoplasty as adjunct treatment method for muscle tension dysphonia: Preliminary findings

Objectives This study examined the effectiveness of injection laryngoplasty (IL) in muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) patients who did not fully respond to voice therapy. It was hypothesized that IL would improve voice quality and voice‐related quality of life measures in MTD. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 37 patients with a primary diagnosis of MTD who underwent IL following a suboptimal response to voice therapy (mean age = 43.0 years; standard deviation [SD] = 13.4; range = 23 to 71). Outcome measures included laryngoscopic signs of supraglottic constriction, Voice Handicap Index‐10 (VHI‐10) scores, maximal phonation time, vowel fundamental frequency (F0), standard deviation of F0 (F0SD), harmonics‐to‐noise ratio (HNR), and smoothed cepstral peak prominence. These were compared between baseline and within 3 months following the IL procedure. Results There was significant decrease in supraglottic constriction. Mean (SD) of VHI‐10 scores decreased from 25.4 (5.7) at baseline to 15.3 (9.3) following IL. This improvement in VHI‐10 was observed in patients with and without baseline glottal insufficiency (GI). Mean (SD) of HNR (decibels) increased from 21.1 (5.4) at baseline to 22.8 (4.3) after IL. Only patients with GI demonstrated a significant improvement in HNR from baseline to post‐IL. No statistically significant differences in other acoustic measures were observed. Conclusions IL resulted in positive changes in voice‐related quality of life in MTD patients with and without GI. Acoustically, only those with GI demonstrated an increase in HNR following IL. Further studies are needed to examine the effects of IL in MTD. Level of Evidence 4 Laryngoscope, 130:980–985, 2020
