rTMS for Laryngeal Dystonia
Study Summary
This trial will investigate the effect of a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), on people with laryngeal dystonia (LD). It is hypothesized that following low frequency (inhibitory) rTMS to the laryngeal motor brain area, there will be a decrease in overactivation of the TA muscle.
