Deep Brain Stimulation in Laryngeal Dystonia and Voice Tremor (NCT05150093)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goals of this project are 1) to determine the incidence of neurological voice disorders in patients with dystonia and essential tremor undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS), 2) investigate the neuroimaging and intracranial neurophysiology correlates of voice dysfunction in these subjects, and subsequently 3) determine the effects of DBS on voice function.
