Deep Brain Stimulation Improves Symptoms of Spasmodic Dysphonia Through Targeting of Thalamic Sensorimotor Connectivity 脑深部电刺激通过靶向丘脑感觉运动连接改善痉挛性发声障碍的症状 Spasmodic dysphonia is a dystonia of the vocal chords producing difficulty with speech. Current hypotheses are that this is a condition of dysregulated thalamic sensory motor integration. A recent randomized controlled trial of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) demonstrated its safety and efficacy. Our objective was to determine whether the outcome could be predicted by stimulation of thalamic sensorimotor areas and adjacent white matter connectivity as assessed by diffusion tractography. Stimulation of thalamic sensorimotor areas was associated with improvement in symptoms of spasmodic dysphonia. These data are consistent with DBS acting on pathophysiologically dysregulated thalamic sensorimotor integration in spasmodic dysp
