Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve voice function in people with laryngeal dystonia, a condition that causes the vocal cords to spasm, leading to a breathy or strained voice. About 25 adults with the condition will receive either real or sham (fake) stimulation to the part of the brain that controls the voice box. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce muscle overactivity and improve voice quality, offering a potential alternative to Botox injections.
