“…Mixed SD exhibits both voice characteristics, and is particularly rare. Regardless of SD type, patients find it difficult to have smooth conversations, significantly impairing work and social communications [4,5] . However, the detailed clinical status of SD patients (e.g., prevalence or current treatments) remains unclear and no diagnostic criteria have been established.…”

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is a rare disease and its epidemiological status is unclear. This review aimed to explore the current prevalence and clinical features of SD in Japan. Methods: We reviewed Japanese surveys of SD and compared them to surveys reported from other countries. We focused on SD prevalence, clinical features (SD type, sex and age), and treatment modalities. Results: The SD prevalence in Japan was 3.5-7.0/100,000, similar to that in Rochester (NY, USA) and Iceland. Adductor SD predominated (90-95%) and females were four-fold more likely to be affected than males. Mean age at onset was approximately 30 years in Japan. Several years elapsed from onset to diagnosis. The most frequent treatment was botulinum toxin injection, and surgical intervention, particularly type 2 thyroplasty is becoming more popular. Conclusions: Our review demonstrated some differences of clinical features of SD in Japan compared with other countries, such as a greater female predominance and younger age of onset. Many physicians and patients may be unfamiliar with the clinical features of SD leading to delayed of diagnosis. Therefore, we proposed diagnostic criteria to facilitate early diagnosis and an appropriate choice of treatment modalities.

“…An adapted version of the BAB, the Behavior Assessment Battery-Voice (BAB-Voice), was developed to assess these psychosocial domains in populations with voice disorders. The BAB-Voice has been used in individuals with spasmodic dysphonia [25] , [26] , [27] , and more recently in PWPD [28] . The BAB-Voice consists of four subtests that provide a holistic description of the affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions to voice use difficulty: Speech Situation Checklist – Emotional Reaction (SSC-ER), Speech Situation Checklist – Speech Disruption (SSC-SD), Behavior Checklist (BCL), and Communication Attitude Test for Adults (BigCAT) [25] , [26] , [27] .…”

Of the four BAB-Voice subtests, the Speech Situation Checklist – Emotional Reaction (SSC-ER) and Speech Situation Checklist – Speech Disruption (SSC-SD) both comprise the same list of 38 different speech situations (e.g., “talking on the phone”, “talking to a stranger”).…”

Purpose Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is a focal dystonia affecting laryngeal musculature with no known etiology or cure. The present study evaluated the sociodemographic and clinical features of patients diagnosed with LD. Materials and Methods All patients diagnosed with LD at our University Hospital’s Ear, Nose, and Throat Department between January 2017 and July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The study included 43 patients. Results Out of the 43 patients, 19 (44%) were male. At the time of diagnosis, the mean age of the patients was 35.1 years (ranging from 17 to 65 years). The mean elapsed time between the first symptom onset and the first diagnosis was 49.2 months (min. 4 months, max. 240 months). Of the participants, 94% had adductor-type LD. None of the patients had a family history of LD. Of the patients, 9 (20%) experienced a life-altering event or trauma just before the onset of symptoms. All patients who consumed alcohol reported symptom relief with alcohol intake. A total of 67.6% of patients stated that their symptoms were triggered by stress. All of our patients received at least one Botulinum toxin injection, with an average of 2.75 dosages per patient. Conclusion The gender distribution was approximately equitable between males and females. There was a tendency for men to receive a diagnosis earlier than women following the manifestation of symptoms. A significant number of patients associate the emergence of their symptoms with a stressful event or traumatic experience. This study represents the initial investigation into the sociodemographic characteristics of patients within the Turkish population.
