Laryngeal electromyography (EMG) guided Botox injection is a specialized medical procedure employed in the treatment of certain voice disorders, particularly spasmodic dysphonia—a condition characterized by involuntary contractions of the muscles within the larynx responsible for voice production. During this procedure, a fine needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles of the larynx, and electromyography is used to record the electrical activity of these muscles. The information gathered from the EMG signals helps identify the overactive muscles contributing to the voice disorder. Subsequently, Botox (botulinum toxin) is injected directly into the targeted muscles to temporarily paralyze them, alleviating the spasms and improving voice quality. This precise and targeted approach, guided by electromyography, enables healthcare professionals to tailor the treatment to the individual's specific muscle dysfunction, offering a more effective and personalized therapeutic solution for voice-related conditions.
