Main Article Content

Abstract

This research to describe and summarize the treatment methods for unilateral vocal cord paralysis in adults. The search strategy combined the terms (1) Unilateral vocal cord paralysis, (2) Treatment on PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Science Direct. The PRISMA principles were used to perform a scoping evaluation of several medical database. Through searching and analyzing 18 studies, a total of 08 studies applied the method of injecting laryngoplasty, 05 studies of thyroplasty, 03 studies using voice therapy, 01 study of thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction and 01 study applied the method of arytenoid adduction surgery. These treatments not only significantly reduce the frequency and amplitude of voice, but also improve the maximum phonation time and indicators of voice quality.
