Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of laryngeal muscle tension in patients with sinonasal diseases.
Methods: The medical records and video-recordings of patients with a history of sinonasal disease were reviewed to identify one of four muscle tension patterns during phonation. A control group with no history of sinonasal diseases was matched according to age and gender.
Results: Seventy-seven patients were divided into a study group (n = 47) and a control group (n = 30). In the study group, 29 patients had at least one muscle tension pattern compared with only 9 in the control group (p = 0.007). The most common muscle tension patterns observed in the study and control groups were muscle tension patterns II and III. In the study group, 79.3 per cent of patients with at least one muscle tension pattern reported dysphonia compared with only 33.3 per cent in the control group.
Conclusion: Patients with sinonasal diseases are more likely to exhibit laryngeal muscle tension and dysphonia in comparison with healthy subjects.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money.
