Spasmodic dysphonia has been successfully treated by thyroarytenoid muscle injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) with dosages ranging from 0.625 to 25 U. In some patients, excessive paralysis with resulting breathiness and aspiration have been noted. In order to maximize the efficiency of Botox injections, the histologic effects of various Botox dosages were examined in the dog. Nine canine thyroarytenoid muscles were injected with 0.5 to 12.5 U of Botox. After 24 hours, the recurrent laryngeal nerve to the injected muscle was electrically stimulated in order to deplete the glycogen within the muscle fibers. Frozen sections of this muscle were then stained for glycogen. Those fibers that retained their glycogen were presumed paralyzed by the Botox injection. The extent of paralysis was found to be dose-related from 1.0 to 7.5 U. At 10 U and above the muscle was completely paralyzed. Spread of the toxin to the lateral cricoarytenoid muscle was seen at doses as low as 1.0 U. Clearly, doses less than 10 U appear sufficient for clinical paralysis.

On page 112 of the report by Wilson, Oldring, and Mueller ("Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Dissection: A Case Report Involving Return of Spastic Dysphonia after Initial Surgery," pp. 112-118), the paraphrase from Cooper (1971), "if the patients are carefully selected and are willing to remain in therapy for a long period of time," was inadvertantly put in quotation marks.
