Pitch Strength & Percent Vocal Creak to Assess Treatment Response in Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia
Pitch Strength (PS) and Percent Vocal Creak (%VC) were measured before and after botulinum neurotoxin treatment in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD). While PS and %VC correlated with changes in disruption frequency and perceptual severity, they did not demonstrate robust group‐level treatment sensitivity.

Supraglottic Botulinum Toxin Injection Improves Symptoms of Laryngeal Sensory Dysfunction
In this retrospective cohort of 80 patients with refractory laryngeal sensory symptoms, supraglottic botulinum toxin type A significantly improved Laryngeal Hypersensitivity Questionnaire, Reflux Symptom Index, and Cough Severity Index scores at a mean of 5.2 weeks, while Voice Handicap Index‐10 scores remained unchanged.

Unraveling dystonia circuitry in rodent models using novel neuromodulation techniques
Dystonia is a network disorder presumed to result from abnormalities in multiple brain regions and in multiple cell populations. The specific pathomechanisms affecting the motor circuits in dystonia are, however, still largely unclear.

Cerebellar contributions to dystonia: unraveling the role of Purkinje cells and cerebellar nuclei
Dystonias are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that result in altered physiology associated with motor movements. Both the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, brain regions involved in motor learning, sensory perception integration, and reward, have ...
