This study explores an Integrative Care Program for reducing symptoms of LPR. Study outcomes will be measured before and after an 8-week intervention including dietary counseling, educational materials, and recipes.
The objective of this prospective single center study is to test a whole food, plant-based diet with special attention to certain foods for patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR).The intervention includes a Principal Investigator–led orientation video and four telehealth visits with a registered dietitian. The study activities also include completing online assessments.
Benefits include dietary orientation and expert nutritional counseling, WFPB diet education materials and recipes, and telehealth support for lifestyle and dietary changes.
Adults aged 18 to 89 years old with 8 weeks or more of laryngeal symptoms (dysphonia/voice hoarseness, throat clearing, sore throat, globus, cough, mucus in throat), that are suspected to have potential LPR and are currently receiving concurrent clinical speech therapy at UC San Diego Health.
