[Treatment of vocal fold nodules in singers].
Vocal nodules (singer's nodules) are a typical professional disease of the vocal apparatus. This disease occurs more frequently in 20- to 50-year-old singers. The nodules form because of vascular disorders secondary to overstrain of the vocal apparatus in phonation and disorders of vegetative innervation. 43 opera singers were treated whose age and singing history ranged from 22 to 57 years and 3 to 26 years, respectively. The treatment combined psychotherapy, medicines with phlogenzym as a basic drug, physiotherapy and phonopedia. Phlogenzym allows to avoid "silence regimen", surgical intervention. This improves treatment efficacy, shortens the time of disability for singers.
