Abstract

Materials and methods: Between March 2017 and February 2018, 27 newly diagnoses patients (about 2 months) were examined in the ENT Clinic of our University Hospital. The bulbar-onset of ALS was diagnosed by neurologists.

Results: According to the endoscopic and clinical results, patients were classified in 4 classes of dysphagia. Laryngology and speech pathology assessment with spectroacuostic analysis of speech using Praat software are fundamental for the proper evaluation of dysphonia of these patients. This study was the first attempt to find a vocal indicator of advancement in swallowing dysfunction in the patient population of ALS. Preliminary findings indicate that the reduction in the maximum fundamental frequency is associated with advancement of dysphagia.

Conclusions: Monitoring the vocal parameters could be useful in order to give an early rehabilitation aid to these patients improving their quality of life and reducing aspiration risks.

肌萎缩性侧索硬化症患者发音障碍和吞咽障碍进展的相关性。

材料与方法:选取2017年3月至2018年2月在我校附属附属医院耳鼻喉科门诊就诊的新诊患者27例(约2个月)。由神经科医生诊断为ALS的球茎发病。结果:根据内镜和临床结果，将患者分为4类吞咽困难。使用Praat软件对语音进行声谱分析的喉喉学和语言病理学评估是正确评估这些患者发音障碍的基础。这项研究是首次尝试在ALS患者群体中寻找吞咽功能障碍进展的声音指标。初步结果表明，最大基本频率的降低与吞咽困难的进展有关。结论:监测声带参数有助于患者早期康复，提高患者的生活质量，降低误吸风险。

期刊介绍： Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology is an amalgamation of the former journals Scandinavian Journal of Logopedics & Phoniatrics and VOICE. The intention is to cover topics related to speech, language and voice pathology as well as normal voice function in its different aspects. The Journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Phonation and laryngeal physiology Speech and language development Voice disorders Clinical measurements of speech, language and voice Professional voice including singing Bilingualism Cleft lip and palate Dyslexia Fluency disorders Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics Aphasia Motor speech disorders Voice rehabilitation of laryngectomees Augmentative and alternative communication Acoustics Dysphagia Publications may have the form of original articles, i.e. theoretical or methodological studies or empirical reports, of reviews of books and dissertations, as well as of short reports, of minor or ongoing studies or short notes, commenting on earlier published material. Submitted papers will be evaluated by referees with relevant expertise.
