PURPOSE: This study employed acoustic measures as well as auditory-perceptual assessments to examine the effects of voice therapy in children presenting with benign vocal fold lesions.
METHODS: A retrospective, observational cohort design was employed. Sustained vowels produced by 129 children diagnosed with benign vocal fold lesions were analyzed, as well as connected speech samples produced by 47 children. Treatment outcome measures included Consensus of Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V), jitter, shimmer, Noise-to-Harmonic Ratio (NHR), cepstral peak prominence (CPP), and Low-to-High Ratio (LHR) on sustained vowels, and CPP and LHR on connected speech.
RESULTS: Following voice therapy, significant improvements in CAPE-V ratings (p < 0.001) were observed. Additionally, jitter (p = 0.041), NHR (p = 0.019), and CPP (p < 0.01) on sustained vowels, and CPP (p = 0.002), and LHR (p = 0.008) on connected speech significantly improved following voice therapy. CPP increased with age in males but did not change in females. CAPE-V ratings and perturbation measures indicated that dysphonia was more severe in younger children pre and post-therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Auditory-perceptual and acoustic measures demonstrated improved voice quality following voice therapy in children with dysphonia. CPP effectively quantified voice therapy gains and allowed for analysis of connected speech, in addition to sustained vowels. These findings demonstrate the value of CPP as a tool in assessing therapy outcomes and support the efficacy of voice therapy for children presenting with vocal fold lesions.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 133:977-983, 2023.
