&NA; Before you can alleviate symptoms in patients with LPR and ensure healing of the laryngopharynx, you must understand the differences between LPR and GERD.
Change of Acoustic Parameters Before and After Treatment in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Patients
TLDR
To evaluate the usefulness of acoustic parameters as an indicator of laryngopharyngeal reflux treatment efficacy, a large number of patients with LPR were randomly assigned to receive either a LPR or a dummy pill.
