Laryngopharyngeal reflux 2002: a new paradigm of airway disease.

Our purpose in writing this supplement is to provide an overview of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). This supplement is not all-encompassing; some of the material presented is controversial; and we recognize that it does represent the bias of physicians at the Center for Voice Disorders of Wake Forest University. Furthermore, we understand that we raise as many questions as we answer. Still, we hope that this supplement will serve as a useful summary of LPR for clinicians, and that it will stimulate others in the research arena.
