Electrical stimulation to promote selective reinnervation of denervated laryngeal muscles
Vocal fold paralysis (VFP) that results from injury to motor axons in the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a common clinical problem. In the majority of these patients, misdirected regeneration of neural fibers in the RLN leads to a synkinetic larynx. Evidence has indicated that electrical stimula...
