Purpose:
To search, evaluate, and summarize the relevant evidence of voice rehabilitation training in adults with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP).
Methods:
Using the '6S' model, the database of UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, domestic and foreign guidelines, and voice rehabilitation training for adults with UVFP were systematically searched. The search includes clinical decisions, guidelines, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and expert consensus. Data search since the establishment of the database to 27 November 2023. The quality evaluation of the literature methodology and the extraction and integration of evidence were carried out independently by two researchers.
Results:
A total of 12 literature were included, including 2 systematic reviews, 2 expert consensus, 4 guidelines, 2 clinical decisions, and 2 randomized controlled trials. Four categories of 16 pieces of evidence were summarized: evaluation of vocal cord paralysis, voice rehabilitation training, health education, joint decision-making, and multidisciplinary cooperation.
Conclusion:
This study summarized the best evidence of voice rehabilitation training for adults with UVFP and provided evidence-based summary for clinical staff to carry out relevant interventions.
