Summary
This study looks at how spasmodic dysphonia, a voice disorder causing uncontrollable vocal cord spasms, affects patients' jobs and social lives. Researchers will interview 20 adults who have received at least one botulinum toxin injection to understand if the treatment helps improve their livelihood. The goal is to gather insights, not to test a new therapy.
