Utility of laryngeal electromyography for establishing prognosis and individualized treatment after laryngeal neuropathies

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 833-845, May 2025.
Abstract Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a technique used to characterize neuropathic injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). The RLN and SLN innervate the laryngeal muscles to produce vocal fold (VF) motion and elongation, respectively. VF motion deficiencies can affect voice, swallowing, and breathing,
