Purpose: Concomitant use of hormonal contraceptive agents (HCAs) and enzyme-inducting antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) may lead to contraceptive failure and unintended pregnancy. This review identified and evaluated concordance and quality of clinical treatment guidelines related to the use of HCAs in women with epilepsy (WWE) receiving EIAEDs.

Methods: Relevant clinical guidelines were identified across four databases and were independently evaluated for quality utilizing the AGREE-II protocol instrument.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to investigate if false vocal folds (FVF) or simultaneous FVF with thyroarytenoid (FVF+TA) Botox® injections achieve comparable treatment effects to standard TA injections. This study also aims to determine how patient-reported outcomes contribute to the transition to, and continuation of, FVF or FVF+TA injections.

Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients receiving Botox® for adductor spasmodic dysphonia at a laryngology practice between 2005 and 2018.
