Could a magnet on the head ease voice spasms?

Laryngeal dystonia causes the vocal folds to spasm, leading to a strained or breathy voice. This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can calm the overactive brain signals that cause these spasms. Twenty-five adults with laryngeal dystonia will receive either real or sham rTMS, and researchers will measure changes in voice quality and brain activity. The goal is to see if this approach could offer a new, less invasive alternative to Botox injections.
