Twenty-five patients who had been clinically selected for botulinum toxin administration were examined, 19 with suspected laryngeal dystonia or spasmodic dysphonia (SD), 5 with vocal tremor, and 1 with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS). LEMG evaluations were performed before botulinum toxin administration using monopolar electrodes. Electromyography was consistent with dystonia in 14 patients and normal in 5, and differences in frequency suggesting essential tremor in 3 and Parkinson tremors in 2. The different LEMG patterns and significant improvement in our patients from botulinum toxin therapy has led us to perform laryngeal electromyography as a routine in UNICAMP movement disorders ambulatory.741-744engBotulinum toxinLaryngeal electromyographyMovement disordersbotulinum toxinadultagedclinical articledysphoniaelectromyogramessential tremorfemaleGilles de la Tourette syndromehumanmaleParkinson diseasevoiceAdultAge DistributionAgedAnti-Dyskinesia AgentsBotulinum ToxinsElder AbuseElectromyographyFemaleHumansLaryngeal MusclesLarynxMaleMiddle AgedMovement DisordersSex DistributionVoice DisordersLaryngeal electromyography in movement disorders: Preliminary dataArtigo10.1590/S0004-282X2004000400034S0004-282X2004000400034Acesso aberto2-s2.0-46442540682-s2.0-4644254068.pdf1346461670550428
