Abstract
We analyzed frequency and duration parameters of voice and speech in t wo men with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (SD). One was treated with bo tulinum toxin injection; the other received acupuncture therapy. Impro vement after acupuncture therapy in terms of standard deviation of fun damental frequency, acoustic perturbation measurements, durational mea surements of voice and speech, and spectrographic analysis was compara ble to the results achieved with botulinum toxin injection. Voice and speech parameters were stable 1 year after acupuncture therapy.
