A method for quantifying foreign-body sensation in the throat (FBST) is described. First,60 short sentences representing various degrees of FBST were selected from clinical histories. Fifty judges then evaluated the degree of FBST on a 10-point scale for each sentence. The mean score was regarded as the FBST value represented by the sentence concerned. Twelve sentences, each of which had a different FBST value, were chosen out of the 60 sentences, and were listed according to the magnitude of the FBST value. This list was then adopted to quantify the degree of FBST. Each patient was asked to select one or two sentences which indicate the most similar property to his or her FBST from the list; and the average of the values attached to the selected sentences was regarded as the FBST value for the patient. Some probational results based on 81 patients were presented. Usefulness of this method in detecting hypopharyngeal malignancy was shown.
