Summary
Global research on laryngeal dystonia (LD) shows growth but few breakthroughs. Future progress in LD treatment and understanding requires international collaboration and novel technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).
Area of Science:
- Bibliometric analysis of scientific literature.
- Research trends in neurology and otolaryngology.
Background:
- Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is a complex neurological disorder.
- Understanding global research output is crucial for identifying progress and gaps.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze global research trends and developments in laryngeal dystonia (LD).
- To identify emerging areas and the role of new technologies and collaborations in LD research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 497 LD studies (1971-2023) from major databases.
- Utilized R, VOSviewer, and Citespace for trend and characteristic analysis.
Main Results:
- Significant growth in LD publications by 1555 authors across 120 journals.
- United States, Japan, and Canada lead research; NIH is a major funder.
- Emerging areas include AI, cortical silent periods (CSP), and deep brain stimulation (DBS) for LD treatment.
Conclusions:
- Despite increased research, major breakthroughs in laryngeal dystonia are limited.
- International collaboration and advanced technologies like AI are vital for accelerating LD research and development.

01:11Observational Studies
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...

01:12Alterations in Muscle Tone ll
Alterations in muscle tone are common manifestations of neurological disorders and reflect dysfunction within different nervous system regions. Spasticity, paratonia, and dystonia represent distinct forms of hypertonia, each with unique mechanisms, clinical features, and diagnostic importance.CharacteristicsSpasticity happens from upper motor neuron lesions and is characterized by velocity-dependent resistance to passive movement. Clinical features include:Exaggerated deep tendon reflexesClonus...
