Abstract:

AIM:To investigate the efficacy and security of intralesional compound betamethasone injection combined with esomeprazole acid-suppressive therapy for the treatment of laryngeal contact granuloma.   METHODS: Seventy-six patients with laryngeal contact granuloma diagnosed from March 2012 to March 2016 were reviewed. Twenty-seven patients took intralesional compound betamethasone injection combined with esomeprazole acid-suppressive therapy as treatment group,the other 67 patients only received esomeprazole acid-suppressive therapy as control group. Control group was treated with oral esomeprazole, 20 mg per time, twice a day for 1 month, followed by esomeprazole 10 mg per time, each morning for half a month, then followed by esomeprazole 10 mg per time, each 2 days for half a month. Treatment group was treated with oral esomeprazole plus intralesional compound betamethasone injection, 0.3-0.5 mL per time, and one time for each month for less than 3 consecutive months. The clinical data of these patients were analyzed. RESULTS: The cure rate was significantly improved in the treatment group (70.37%,19/27) compared with that in the control group (46.94%, 23/49), and the cure time in the treatment group[(2.62±0.37) months] was significantly shorter than that in the control group[(5.16±0.85) months]. Meanwhile, in those patients with Farwell III and IV grade lesions, the cure rate in the treatment group (60.00%, 6/10) was also significantly higher than that in the control group (14.29%, 3/21). In both groups, the adverse drug reaction mainly included dyspepsia, gasteremphraxis and hiccough. There were no significant differences (P=0.695) in the rate of adverse drug reaction between treatment group (11.11%) and control group (14.29%). CONCLUSION:Intralesional compound betamethasone injection combined with esomeprazole acid-suppressive therapy can be recommended as a safe and effective alternative therapy for laryngeal contact granuloma, especially for the refractory granuloma.
