Abstract
Background
This study was to explore the effectiveness of the ABCLOVE exercise on school-aged children with vocal nodules after the treatment of budesonide.
Methods
Eighty-six school-aged children with vocal nodules were divided into control and ABCLOVE therapy groups. Subjective voice assessment and dysphonia severity index (DSI) assessment were performed before and after the 3-month of therapy.
Results
A significant improvement was observed in the ABCLOVE therapy group as compared with the control group (p = 0.035). ABCLOVE therapy significantly reduced the hoarseness and roughness scores in school-aged children with vocal nodules. Additionally, a significant reduction in functional score, physical score, emotional score, and total pVHI score was observed in the ABCLOVE therapy group. Moreover, acoustic parameters including jitter (%) and shimmer (%) were significantly reduced, whereas MPT and DSI were increased in school-aged children with vocal nodules who received 3 months of ABCLOVE treatment.
Conclusion
ABCLOVE therapy displayed effectiveness on school-aged children with vocal nodules after the treatment of budesonide.
