Treatment of Vocal Fold Bowing Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

Abstract: Behavioral voice therapy with adjunctive neuromuscular electrical stimulation reduced vocal fold bowing, resulting in improved acoustic, laryngeal, and patient-centered outcomes. Maximum phonation time and glottal closure results imply increased vocal fold tension secondary to enhanced thyroarytenoid or cricothyroid muscle function after voice therapy.

“…The sample calculation performed in a previous study (8) , to which the diadochokinesis data used in this study belongs, was based on the study by Lagorio et al (24) who, considering a value of p<0.05 (α = 5%) and a test strength of 90% (β> 0.90), indicated the need for 6 individuals, which was maintained for the current study.…”

“…The average of three trials was determined in order to obtain the experimental phonation time (EPT) Seventy-five percent duration of EPT was calculated to determine the length of phonation for the experimental vocal endurance task [21], which was adapted from a vocal exercise described by LaGorio and colleagues [22]. The task consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions of the sustained vowel /a/ at 75% duration of EPT; all repetitions were completed at a loudness level of 65-75 dB SPL.…”

“…A survey investigated the result of vocal therapy associated to NMES in the rehabilitation of dysphonia by bilateral arching vocal folds by presbyphonia using a traditional therapy program combining vocalization techniques with NMES for the study with level of evidence 4 16 , seven individuals with chronic dysphonia were selected by convenience sample and underwent treatment with NMES associated with traditional therapy fourteen steps of vocalizations and the results showed increased TMF (maximum phonation time) and better glottal…”

“…According to the literature, there are few publications on the applicability of electrical stimulation in the treatment of dysphonia [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and studies that were part of this review show applicability in different vocal and with different approaches and that there is little proven scientific evidence on their behalf. However, research on the application of this new feature in the speech therapy clinical practice is recent and some questions deserve to be answered because there is controversy in the literature that may be related to the heterogeneity of the samples studied, since the surveys were conducted with different etiological frames of dysphonia, and various ages, as well as the lack of standardization method, and does not define the follow-up of patients during and after treatment.…”
