After washout patients underwent IA. Multidimensional assessment carried out prior to and 30 days after each treatment included 1) videostroboscopy graded by the Vocal Tremor Scoring System (VTSS), 2) acoustic and aerodynamic assessment (cepstral peak prominence, cepstral spectral index of dysphonia, cepstral peak prominence fundamental frequency, airflow, peak air pressure and intensity, maximum phonation time, and amplitude\/frequency of tremor), 3) audio\u2010perceptual assessment via Consensus Audio\u2010Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE\u2010V), and 4) patient self\u2010assessment via Voice Handicap Index\u201010 (VHI\u201010) and Percent of Normal Function (PNF) scale.

Airflow increased following BTX and decreased following IA, and VHI\u201010 scores indicated slight improvement post\u2010BTX (26.29\u201323.57), and decline post\u2010IA (25.86\u201329.86), although differences were not significant.
