An interventional study of Bruni® training in Substitution Voice, sponsored by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-09-28.
Sponsored by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Surgically treated patients with type II OPHL being treated at the Phoniatrics Unit of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli-IRCCS, but not satisfied with their voice after the first cycle of therapy with a standard rehabilitation approach, will be recruited. To interested patients, a specific vocal rehabilitation program based on Bruni training will be proposed in order to compare the results obtained using this method with those following the previous treatment.
Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS is the lead sponsor of 920 studies on the registry; 529 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Behavioral: Bruni® training
10 sessions (7 individual and 3 group) based on the Bruni method, which was born as a method for the artistic voice (rock, pop, gospel, R\&B, grunge, metal), acting and dubbing. It is a method based on the didactic desire to lead any artist to the ability to produce various types of noise, specifically generically supraglottic, predominantly arytenoid and falsechordal emissions, providing the perceptive, proprioceptive and praxis tools to safely emit and manage the many sounds generated from a supraglottic source
Maximum phonation time
emit a sustained /a/ for as long as possible with a single air intake. The test will be repeated three times and the longest of the three attempts will be calculated as MPT
Time frame: 3 months
type of spectrogram
A sustained /a/ will be recorded, subsequently analyzed with the PRAAT software.
Time frame: 3 months
foundamental frequency
A sustained /a/ will be recorded, subsequently analyzed with the PRAAT software
Time frame: 3 months
Formantic peaks
The dysillabic word /papà/ will be recorded, subsequently analyzed with the PRAAT software
Time frame: 3 months
perceptual evaluation
Voices will be perceptually rated by expert clinicians using the INFVo scale which includes overall impression (I), amount of unintentional additive noise (N), fluency (F) and voice quality (Vo). For each parameter the score can vary from 0 to 10. The higher the score, the better the perceived voice quality.
Time frame: 3 months
self evaluation of voice
Patients will be administered the self-evaluation questionnaire "Self-evaluation of Communicative Experience after Laryngeal cancer" which measures adaptation to the replacement voice through 35 items in three subscales (General, Environment, Attitude). Patients should rate each statement on a 4-point categorical scale. You can get a total score from 0 to 102 and three subscores. A score ≥60 suggests the need for specific psychological intervention for acceptance of the new voice.
Time frame: 3 months
