To evaluate pre and post treatment results based on Laryngeal mucosal changes as assessed by direct videolaryngoscopy/stroboscopy using Belafsky scores. In our study we have evaluated laryngeal in patientswith dysphonia RSI 10 before after 6 months of with Tab. Pantoprazole Tab.Mosapride. This prospective was carried out 50 patients attending the ENT patient department ofa tertiary care referra...

OBJECTIVE Laryngopharyngeal reflux may cause significant morbidity in the head and neck cancer population. The goal was to determine if pharyngeal reflux is increased as a result of treatment for laryngeal cancer. STUDY DESIGN A prospective clinical trial. SETTING Tertiary care center. SUBJECTS Head and neck cancer patients treated at LSU Health-Shreveport with a plan for total laryngecto...

Abstract Objectives This study identified the frequency and severity of dysphagia, dysphonia, laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms in people with Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) explored differences between diagnostic groups. Methods Participants were recruited via non‐probability convenience sampling. Information was gathered online survey, including Reflux...

OBJECTIVES Minimal data exist to define the use of contemporary dual pH with multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) probes integrating both pharyngeal acid and impedance sensors to evaluate laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) symptoms in a laryngology clinic population. This study was performed to review a series of patients tested with dual pH-MII for suspected LPR symptoms and to analyze pH-MII...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Functional constipation and gastroesophageal reflux disease are two major and commonly encountered components of childhood functional gastrointestinal disorders. Epidemiological studies in the adult population support that there is a significant overlap between the different functional disorders of the digestive tract. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the frequency of gastroes...

UNLABELLED The supraesophageal manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease commonly known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) are highly prevalent. The diagnosis of LPR is challenging and mostly based on suggestive symptoms and signs of inflammation at the larynx and pharynx. In order to decrease the subjectivity of clinical assessment, a score based on endolaryngeal videolaryngoscopic find...

OBJECTIVE To describe the occurrence of relative proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug resistance in the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A retrospective review was performed for 1053 consecutive adults undergoing double-probe (simultaneous esophageal and pharyngeal) pH testing in our laboratory. Two hundred five patients who had pH studies performed while taki...
