Abstract:
Over the past decade, the assessment and management of voice disorders have witnessed remarkable progress. The assessment framework encompasses a multidimensional system that includes subjective audio-perceptual assessment, objective acoustic analysis, voice-related quality of life assessment, laryngoscopy and vocal fold vibration evaluation, aerodynamic analysis and laryngeal electromyography. In China, the Expert Consensus for Assessment of Vocal Function was published in 2024. Therapeutically, continuous refinement of phonomicrosurgical techniques, injection laryngoplasty, laryngeal framework surgery, and laryngeal reinnervation procedures has yielded favorable functional outcomes in phonation and swallowing. Voice therapy delivered either as an adjunct to surgery or as a standalone intervention-now plays an indispensable role in comprehensive voice care. In the future, voice disorders will be assessed more precisely, treated more effectively, and supported by more comprehensive rehabilitation.
