Abstract

Many patients undergone thyroidectomy show subjective voice changes, neck and throat discomfort, lower pitched voice & high pitch difficulty, and hoarseness. These patients need preoperative and postoperative voice therapy. Using TVSQ and PSVT, subjective voice problems and the need for voice therapy were recognized. Before surgery, it is necessary to alleviate psychological difficulties through voice hygiene education and counseling. After surgery, muscle relaxation exercise and massage of the larynx and neck & shoulder, laughing approach, humming, and SOVTE(lip trill) can induce high-pitched voice and reduce the glottal gap.
