Open publisher page 23 citations

Abstract

Otolaryngologists were surveyed to determine their professional opinions about the role of voice therapy in the treatment of vocal nodules in children. Questionnaires were sent to physicians in five geographic regions of the United States (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and West). Results indicated that, of the respondents, most otolaryngologists have a positive opinion about the role of voice therapy. However, a sizeable minority of respondents did not consider therapy an effective means of treating vocal nodules.
