Summary

This study tested two treatments for vocal nodules—non-cancerous growths on the vocal cords caused by voice overuse. Fifty adult women received either a steroid injection directly into the nodule or a special voice therapy called the Accent method. The goal was to see which approach better improves voice quality and reduces nodule size. Results help guide treatment choices for people with voice-related jobs.
