Hello-- I am a medical librarian and coordinator of the Kreamer Family Resource Center (a consumer health library for and about children) at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. I have been asked to find out if anyone "out there" has experience with using botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to improve speech. I have searched the CPPARENT archives and have found a few glancing references to it. If any of you have experience with Botox injections to the vocal cords or Botox used in any way to improve speech, and you don't mind sharing your experience or the name of the doctor who gives this treatment, please email me at [log in to unmask] My requestor would like to know where this treatment is being done, and by whom, and if it appears to help. There is little or nothing published in the medical literature about Botox and speech improvement, so I am appealing to you for any available information--collectively, you have a lot of expertise (and first-hand experience) in CP therapies. TIA, Brenda R. Pfannenstiel, MALS, MA Coordinator, Kreamer Family Resource Center The Children's Mercy Hospital 2401 Gillham Road Kansas City, MO 64108 [log in to unmask]
