In particular, studies investigating recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) lesions have provided critical insights into how neural injury influences deglutition and airway protection.

Intraoperatively a nerve in a horizontal position was identified which entered the larynx at the cricothyroid joint (figure 2). This was confirmed to be a non-recurrent laryngeal nerve with the use of ...

Bio-electronic medicine is a new form of therapy that uses electrical pulses to modulate nerve activity. The small implant ...

However, the doctor wasn’t finished: He told me I also had laryngeal dystonia (LD), something I’d never heard of. This meant that instead of vibrating smoothly, my vocal cords were shuddering.
