I had the opportunity to listen to a vocal coach in Tampa giving advice on this subject back in the 80's.
His advice was simple gargle warm salt water. Do scales for 5 minutes and have someone stick a fork in your butt when it was time to hit the notes.
He said long term screaming such as that being done on 80's hair bands would eventually degrade your vocal cords since they were not designed for this repeated and extended form of singing.
Anyway I thought it was a funny statement at the time.
