Effects of @entity384 for XXXX on Voice Production.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of @entity384 for @entity850 on voice production. METHODS: Retrospective review of 10 female @entity1 with @entity850 undergoing @entity384 . Voice outcomes were evaluated by comparing pre- and posttreatment @entity1 -reported, perceptual, aerodynamic, and acoustic parameters. Complete data sets were not available for all subjects; sample size for each parameter is reported with the corresponding result. RESULTS: Total Voice Handicap Index (VHI) decreased significantly (22.9    13.5 to 6.8    6.5; n = 8; p = .015), as did glottal function index (7.2    4.9 to 1.5    2.0; n = 6; p = .022). No changes were observed in the GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain) scale. Changes in aerodynamic parameters were not statistically significant. Percent jitter decreased (1.32    1.37 to 0.60    0.29; n = 7; P = .078), and fundamental frequency range was preserved (507    325 to 612    281; n = 7; P = .309). CONCLUSIONS: Our sample of @entity1 with @entity850 had a mild-moderate @entity7364 that improved with @entity384 . Importantly, adverse effects on voice that can occur with open procedures were not observed. @entity1 perception of @entity7364 improved while fundamental frequency range was maintained and aerodynamic parameters remained within or moved toward the normal range. Larger prospective studies are warranted to further evaluate changes in voice production associated with @entity384 .
