TREATMENT OF VOCAL CORD NODULES

Avocal nodule is a benign mucosal lesion on the vocal fold and frequently presents in the general population. Vocal nodules are typically located at the point of maximal amplitude during the mucosal wave, and thus, that section subjected to have the most phonotraumatic force during phonation. The cause of vocal nodules is generally laryngeal trauma due to chronic vocal abuse or misuse. Patients often present with a poor vocal endurance and a quickly tiring voice. An increased vocal load, for example, due to the patient's profession, is usually responsible for the formation of nodules. Boys, young women, and teachers are particularly affected.Treatment options for vocal fold nodules include both invasive and noninvasive techniques. Attention to correcting the underlying causative factors, largely through voice therapy and education, plays an integral role in any treatment plan of action.
