Abstract
Seven female adults with vocal cord nodules were examined and treated by vocal hygiene on admission for 2 weeks. The results were as follows; Laryngoscopic observations revealed that the vocal cord nodules either disappeared or reduced in size in 6 cases (85.7%). The vocal cord nodules originated by vocal abuse and some trigger episode such as shouting, cheering, or acute exacerbation of sinusitis and upper respiratory inflammation. Vocal hygiene was effective in the cases which had some trigger. In the cases with neck and shoulder stiffness or hard glottal attack at phonation, vocal cord nodules recur in some patients after discharge.
