Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the curative effects of esophageal voice training on life quality of laryngectomees .Methods Between June 2011 and June 2013 , 46 patients in clinical department who underwent total laryngectomies were trained by esophageal voice rehabilitation successfully .The questionnaires of performance status scale for head and neck cancer patients ( PPS-HN ) and quality of life instruments for cancer patients-head and neck cancer ( PLICP-HN) were answered by them before esophageal voice training and 3 months after successful vocal rehabilitation .Results Total laryngectomy deteriorated the performance status and life quality in laryngectomees , the mean score of PPS-HN scale was (160.76 ±78.05) evidently lower than the standard score of 300,and the difference was statistically significant (t=12.10,P<0.05).After successful esophageal speech training , the mean scores of the laryngectomees were significantly improved both in PPS-HN (217.28 ±57.66) and PLICO-HN(143.09 ±22.16) than before , and the differences were statistically significant(t=6.64,7.62,respectively;P<0.05).Conclusions The performance status and life quality of laryngectomees decline obviously , which can be improved by esophageal voice training .
