4 Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) Definition : symptoms associate with the reflux of gastric contents (acid and enzymes such as pepsin) into the laryngopharynx. - hoarseness of voice - globus - chronic cough
5 Pathophysiology of LPR Refluxate in esophagus Direct Refluxate pass through UES into pharynx and larynx cause hoarseness of voice and laryngitis In direct Refluxate evokes laryngeal reflexes via vagus nerve cause chronic caugh

8 Testing for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Reflux symptom Index :Within the last MONTH, how did the following problems affect you? 0 = no problem, 5 = severe problem 1. Hoarseness or a problem with your voice Clearing your throat Excess throat mucous or postnasal drip Difficulty swallowing food, liquids, or pills Coughing after you ate or after lying down Breathing difficulties or choking episodes Troublesome or annoying cough Sensations of something sticking in your throat or a lump in your throat Heartburn, chest pain, indigestion, or stomach acid coming up Total
9 Advantages and Disadvantages of Various Methods for Detection of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Method Advantages Disadvantages Endoscopy Laryngoscopy Easy visualization of mucosal damage and erosions No sedation required Direct visualization of the larynx and laryngeal pathology Poor sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value Sedation required High cost No specific laryngeal signs for reflux Overdiagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease ph monitoring Easy to perform Relatively noninvasive Prolonged monitoring Ambulatory Catheter - based method False negative rate of up to 30% No ph predictors of treatment response in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux Impedance monitoring ph measurement system Lateral flow device for pepsin detection Easy to perform Relatively noninvasive Prolonged monitoring Ambulatory Measurement of acidic and nonacidic gas and liquid reflux (combined with ph) Faster detection rate and time to equilibrium ph than traditional ph catheters Fast and easy detection of salivary pepsin Acceptable sensitivity and specificity Catheter - based method Unknown false negative rate (but likely similar to that of catheter based ph monitoring) Unknown clinical relevance when abnormal results are found in patients taking proton pump inhibitors Unknown importance in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux Unknown clinical usefulness in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux Has only been examined in limited outcome studies so far Gastroenterology & Hepatology Volume 8, (9);2012 :590-9.

18 Summary Up to 75% of patients with GER-related cough have no esophageal GER symptoms, but it is still possible to predict the presence of GER-related cough. An empiric trial of conservative measures plus twice-daily PPIs for 3 months can successfully identify and treat GER-related cough in approximately 80% of patients; GER- related cough can take more than 3 months to improve even with aggressive medical GER therapy. Esophageal diagnostic testing is recommended if an empiric therapy trial fails and should include esophageal manometry, ph monitoring and impedance monitoring and pepsin detection, if available, while maintaining GER therapy. Surgical fundoplication can be considered in selected patients who desire surgical therapy and who respond to medical therapy after a comprehensive evaluation, or in patients with documented nonacid reflux who do not respond to medical therapy
