Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation on Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated how globus pallidus interna (GPi) versus ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects objective voice measures in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia. GPi‐DBS was associated with greater improvements in voicing, voice breaks, and intensity modulation, while VIM‐DBS showed greater improvement in ...

The Mental Health Impact of Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction (RCPD) and Its Treatment
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study assessed the prevalence of anxiety and depression within patients with retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (RCPD) while evaluating the impact of cricopharyngeal botulinum toxin injection (CPBTI) on associated symptoms. Using validated surveys for anxiety and depression given at specific time intervals, RCPD patients were found to have a ...
