Abstract

To evaluate and compare pre and post treatment results using the following parameters by (a) Dual probe pH monitoring. (b) Laryngeal mucosal changes as assessed by direct video laryngoscopy/stroboscopy using Belafsky scores. (c) Voice changes by using GRBAS and Dr Speech software for speech analysis. In our study we have evaluated and compared voice and laryngeal changes in patients with dysphonia and RSI > 10 (which is suggestive of LPR) before treatment and after 6 months of treatment with Tab. Pantoprazole and Tab. Mosapride. This prospective study was carried out on 50 patients attending the ENT OPD of a tertiary care referral centre over a period of 18 months i.e. from Nov 2008 to Apr 2010. The study showed that prolonged therapy (> 6 months) is required to treat LPR effectively and 24 h ambulatory dual probe pH metry and videolaryngoscopy to assess RFS are the most preferred diagnostic tools in LPR. Dr Speech software for voi ce analysis can give an objective assessment of voice changes in LPR before and after treatment. The treatment consisting of PPI and prokinetic drugs proved to be effective in laryngopharyngeal reflux disease as improvement was seen in all the parameters including reflux findings score, subjective and objective voice assessment. According to results of our study, 24 h ambulatory dual probe pH metry, Reflux Finding Score (RFS), subjective and objective acoustic parameters can be used as indicators of efficacy of treatment.
