    Using alcohol as a tool to unravel laryngeal dystonia: The Vodka Trial

    In this episode, Dr. Divyani Garg converses with Prof. Kristina Simonyan on applying the standard alcohol challenge test, in combination with targeted genetic analysis in the GABAergic synapse pathways, in persons with laryngeal dystonia. Together they explore alcohol’s role in laryngeal dystonia, the genetic signatures that may predict responsiveness, and what this could mean for the future of treatment of laryngeal dystonia specifically, but also dystonia in general.
