A difficulty in producing vocal sounds.
In patients with spasmodic dysphonia, the current treatment that is most commonly offered is by selective injection of botulinum toxin (BOTOX) into the most affected muscles.
From Ancient Greek δυσ- (dus-, “ill, hard”) + φωνή (phōnḗ, “sound, voice”), equivalent to dys- + -phonia.
