Spotlight on: Nature, assessment, and management of laryngopharyngeal reflux

Abstract

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a condition that affects up to 10% of the general population. It contributes to breathing, hearing, voicing, and swallowing problems. By incorporating knowledge of this phenomenon into their practice, clinicians may better address these concerns. This Spotlight on Nature, Assessment, and Management of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux equips clinicians with a current understanding of how and why LPR occurs, and what to do about it. Practical recommendations are provided to support immediate implementation of knowledge, and to improve patient care.
