Abstract
- Background: The benefit of injection laryngoplasty (IL) on voice for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is supported increasingly in literatures, yet less is known for swallowing. Also, prevalence of patient-reported dysphagia is substantially higher than instrumental studies. This prospective study focused on swallowing outcomes, with predetermined flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) protocol that simulates daily life situation. Methods: Adult patients with UVFP and aspiration receiving IL were recruited. Voice outcome measurements, as well as swallowing outcomes including Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) and FEES, which challenged patients with different fluid volumes: 10 mL, 20 mL, and 90 mL cup sipping were evaluated. Results: Significant improvements were demonstrated in all voice outcomes. Significant changes were also presented inEAT-10 (P
