[Potentialities of the vegetative resonance test for diagnostics of hyperplastic processes in vocal folds].

The objective of the present study was to evaluate potentialities of the vegetative resonance test (VRT) for the elucidation of metabolic aspects of the inflammatory process in different forms of chronic vocal fold hyperplasty. The proposed diagnostic criteria characterize the inflammatory process in the larynx, specific features of metabolism in patients presenting with catarrhal and oedematopolypous laryngitis, characteristic changes in oedematofibrous and fibrous polyps. The use of VRT allowed diagnostic criteria for precarcinogenic conditions in the larynx to be developed.
