Background: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of dysphagia in patients with chronic cough and its relationship with the long-term persistence of these symptoms. Methods: Thirty consecutive patients. All patients underwent physical examination, ENT assessment, videolaryngoscopy, functional phoniatric assessment at rest and speech, Water-Swallow Test, and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing disorders with Reflux Finding Score. Reflux Symptom Index questionnaire was performed. The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee Review Board (KB/39/A/2016). Results: The results of the RFS and the RSI questionnaire showed the risk of reflux in participating patients. The patients presented episodes of spillage, double swallows, penetration, aspiration and residue of food at the hypopharynx. The results of functional assessment correlated with the Water-Swallow Test. The correlation between Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing disorders and Water-Swallow Test results was found for aspiration risk, spillage, and retention of saliva. Conclusion: The results of the study showed prevalence of dysphagia in most patients with chronic chough. It seems that phoniatric assessment in those cases should be expanded and the following tests should be performed: assessment of the laryngeal elevation, Water-Swallow Test, and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing disorders.

“…This result is in line with the previous literature on the effects of SOVTE on the singer's voice. 17 A questionnaire similar to the one described in our study was used by Fantini et al for healthy singers. 22 To the best of our knowledge, no tools with a focus on self-assessment parameters for healthy vocal performers have been validated.…”

Semioccluded Vocal Tract Exercises Improve Self-Perceived Voice Quality in Healthy Actors

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTE) have shown to lead to more effective and efficient vocal production for individuals with voice disorders and for singers. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of a 10-minute SOVTE warm-up protocol on the actors' voice. Methods. Twenty-seven professional theater actors (16 females) without voice complaints were audio-recorded while reading aloud, with their acting voice, a short dramatic passage at four time points. Recordings were made: the day before the show, just before and soon after the warm-up protocol which was performed prior to the show and soon after the show. The voice quality was acoustically and auditory-perceptually evaluated and quantified at each time point by blinded raters. Self-assessment parameters anonymously collected pre and post exercising were also analyzed. Results. No statistically significant differences on perceptual ratings and acoustic parameters were found between pre/post exercise sessions and males/females. A statistically significant improvement was detected in the self-assessment parameters concerning comfort of production, sonorousness, vocal clarity and power. Conclusions. Vocal warm-up with the described SOVTE protocol was effective in determining a self-perceived improvement in comfort of production, voice quality and power, although objective evidence was missing. This straightforward protocol could thus be beneficial if routinely utilized by professional actors to facilitate the voice performance.

“…Ao buscar referências a respeito da questão de condicionamento vocal nas fontes bibliográficas, um trabalho que contou com revisão da literatura finaliza informando que os estudos demonstram que a fonação com auxílio de tubos em cantores produz efeitos positivos sobre a qualidade vocal, com maior conforto fonatório e projeção vocal, emissão mais econômica, aumento do limiar de colisão durante a fonação em tubo imerso em água e pressões intraorais mais consistentes após a fonação em canudo estreito, favorecendo, assim, a terapia vocal eficiente e efetiva 6 .…”

Programa Condicionamento Vocal e Respiratório (CVR): proposta de intervenção para profissionais da voz

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Programas de intervenção para profissionais da voz podem englobar estratégias de treinamento muscular vocal e respiratório. Neste tipo de abordagem, a integração de ações fonoaudiológicas e fisioterapêuticas tem produzido resultados positivos. A presente comunicação tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de intervenção fonoaudiológica e fisioterapêutica denominada Condicionamento Vocal e Respiratório (CVR), desenvolvida com profissionais da voz. Composta por oito encontros semanais, ela teve como objetivo aumentar a resistência vocal e respiratória dos participantes, promovendo melhor desempenho profissional. Para a fonação, foram indicados exercícios de trato vocal semiocluído com a utilização de canudos comerciais e de silicone; para a respiração, foram realizados exercícios com um incentivador a fluxo (Respiron Classic®).
