Methods A group of 347 patients with cleft palate related speech disorders, treated in the speech rehabilitation clinic of Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April 2016 to December 2020, were divided into five basic modes:diagnostic treatment group, traditional treatment group, alpha group, marginal velopharyngeal competency group and early language intervention group. The distribution of each group was calculated.The personal information, surgery information, articulation features, velopharyngeal function and progosis of each group were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among all the subjects, 171 subjects belonged to the diagnostic treatment group, 127 subjects belonged to the traditional treatment group, 33 subjects belonged to alpha group, 10 subjects belonged to marginal hypernasality group, and 6 cases belonged to the early language intervention group. Conclusion The treatment guided classification of cleft palate related speech disorders would not only provide clear guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but may also offer further information for precise rehabilitation treatment.
