Spasmodic dysphonia and vocal tremor

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Spasmodic dysphonia is a focal laryngeal dystonia affecting the voice. Several subtypes exist, presenting different diagnostic and treatment challenges. Vocal tremor is a separate disorder characterized by involuntary oscillation of the laryngeal and pharyngeal musculature, resulting in modulation of pitch and loudness. Overall there are many features of spasmodic dysphonia and vocal tremor that are still poorly understood. This chapter will review the disorders as well as the current levels of evidence for both nonsurgical and surgical management.
