Therapy

To date, spasmodic dysphonia can be cured in only rare instances. However, since the introduction of Botulinum toxin for the symptomatic treatment of spasmodic dysphonia in 1987, it has been possible to effectively alleviate the symptoms of those affected. Other forms of treatment range from logopedic voice therapy, psychotherapy, hypnosis or pharmacotherapy to surgical methods (unilateral severance of the recurrent nerve supplying the muscles of the vocal folds).
