Combined-modality treatment of adductor spasmodic dysphonia with botulinum toxin and voice therapy.
A combined-modality treatment program consisting of botulinum toxin injection (Botox) and voice therapy was used to treat 17 subjects diagnosed with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADD SD). Ten subjects with ADD SD served as the control and were given Botox only. Voice therapy after Botox injection was directed toward reducing the hyperfunctional vocal behaviors, primarily glottal overpressure at...
متن کاملExpert System-Type Approach to Voice Disorders: Scheduling Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia
One of the most debilitating disorders is adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD), a voice disorder caused by involuntary movements of the muscles of the larynx (voice box). For treating ADSD, botulinum toxin (BT) injections turned out to be very useful. However, the effects of BT are highly variable, so at present, there is no objective criterion of when such a BT treatment is necessary. It is the...

Description and quantification of the symptoms of adductor spasmodic dysphonia often reflect the clinician's knowledge of the disorder, ideas about the cause of the disorder, and personal experience. No reliable instrument that identifies and quantifies the spectrum of perceptual symptoms has been available. Therefore, we developed a standardized measure called the Unified Spasmodic Dysphonia R...
متن کاملSelective laryngeal adductor denervation-reinnervation: a new surgical treatment for adductor spasmodic dysphonia.
During the past decade, botulinum toxin (Botox) has emerged as the accepted treatment for adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ASD). This therapy, which produces bilateral weakness of the thyroarytenoid muscle, undoubtedly produces physiologic effects that are beneficial to patients with ASD. However, it also has important limitations, including the need for repeated injections, the unpredictable rela...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up results of selective laryngeal adductor denervation-reinnervation surgery for adductor spasmodic dysphonia.
Selective laryngeal adductor denervation-reinnervation surgery for the treatment of adductor spasmodic dysphonia was reported in 1999 in 21 patients with encouraging results. Here, we report long-term results of this procedure. Surgical outcome was evaluated using patient surveys and perceptual voice assessment. Measured outcomes included Voice Handicap Index (VHI)-10 scores, patient questionna...
