Description:

The investigator will issue a Patient Information Consent for the participant in the study. 1.Patients will be asked to complete the Reflux Symptom Index questionnaire. Clinical survey, medical history 2. Objective methods for assessing the patient's condition: - examination of ENT organs: rhinoscopy, otoscopy, pharyngoscopy and laryngoscopy 3. Laboratory and instrumental research methods - Endoscopic laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy. pH-metry: The collection of mucus from the laryngopharynx for the determination of acid-base values. Acoustic voice analysis: objective assessment of the voice condition 4.Sociological method: determination of lifestyle, nutrition, the presence or absence of bad habits. 5. Subjective methods for assessing the condition of the larynx - Questionnaires. 6. Аnalysis of the received data

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• pH metry
The collection of mucus from the laryngopharynx to determine the acid-base values through pH-metry.
• Filling out the questionnaire
Completion of the questionnaire index of reflux symptoms. An analysis of the results of the effectiveness of this method in patients with complaints of sore throat, coughing, burning sensation in the throat, cough, frequent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, lump in the throat, feeling of a foreign body in the throat, voice change, heartburn, belching will be carried out. Evaluation results range from 0 to 5, where 0 is an indicator of no problem, and 5 is an indicator of a serious problem

Device:
• Endoscopic laryngoscopy
Video laryngoscopy and assessment of the presence / severity of the symptoms. Evaluation results range from 0 to 4, where 0 is an indicator of no problem, and 4 is an indicator of a serious problem
• Acoustic voice analysis
acoustic analysis of the voice was performed in singers with voice disorders before and after treatment using program of the Lingwaves
