Objective To investigate the application effect of voice rehabilitation therapy in the conservative treatment of vocal nodules. Methods A total of 41 patients with vocal nodules were selected as the research object. Patients were randomly divided into two groups:group A (n=21) and group B (n=20). Patients in group A received drug therapy ( Ganju Bingmei tablets and Budesonide) combined with the voice rehabilitation therapy, while patients in group B only received drug therapy ( Ganju Bingmei tablets and Budesonide). Laryngostroboscope examination, voice acoustic analysis and voice handicap index (VHI) were used to collect patients′data in first-time consultancy and two months after intervention, and the curative effect between two groups were compared. Results The effective rate of treatment in group A ( 95%) was higher than that in the group B (80%) (P>0.05). Two months after treatment, the Jitter, Shimmer and the total score of VHI scale of all patients were lower than the data before treatment, and the dysphonia severity index ( DSI) and maximum phonation time ( MPT) were higher than that before treatment ( P<0.05) . Two months after treatment, the jitter and shimmer in group A were lower than group B ( P>0.05) . The MPT and DSI in group A were higher than group B (P<0.05). The total score of VHI was lower than group B (P<0.05). Conclusions Voice rehabilitation therapy combined with drug therapy are more efficient than single drug therapy in the conservative treatment of vocal nodules.

Oral cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and the evaluation of the oral cancer patients' quality of life is part of the treatment and nursing. At present, the evaluation scales on health related quality of life in oral cancer patients mainly include two major categories: universal scales and disease-specific scales. This article summarizes and compares the two categories of scales, and discusses the evaluation items in commonly used scales, applicable areas, and current application status, aiming at providing reference for the selection of evaluation tools in clinical practice.
