Various sensitivity disorders of the larynx can result from disturbances in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Loss of sensitivity manifests as hyperesthesia, anesthesia, and paresthesia. Specialists in Israel use a comprehensive approach to treat these disorders.
Causes
The causes of nerve disorders of the larynx are diverse and vary depending on the type of disorder. Laryngeal anesthesia is a consequence of injuries to the larynx or laryngeal nerve. Such injuries may result from surgical interventions in the neck area. Anesthesia may also occur as a result of diphtheria. Hyperesthesia most often arises as a consequence of diseases of the nervous system. In the presence of inflammation in the muscle fibers and nerves of the larynx, motor disorders may occur, characterized by partial loss of laryngeal functionality. Hysteria and neuroses can lead to laryngeal paralysis.
Symptoms of Laryngeal Nerve Disorders
The symptoms depend on the type of disorder and may include loss of sensitivity in the larynx, sensations of tingling and burning, and spasms. Painful sensations during breathing and speaking often occur.
Diagnosis of Laryngeal Nerve Disorders in Israel
Diagnosis in Israel includes a range of methods:
- an analysis of complaints (presence of dyspnea, history of diseases and injuries)
- patient examination (palpation of the neck, searching for signs of respiratory failure)
- radiographic examination, tomography, aimed at identifying pathologies that could cause laryngeal nerve disorders
- ultrasound of the thyroid gland
- examination using a flexible endoscope
- glottography (diagnosis of nerve impulse conduction to the vocal apparatus)
- electromyography.
Treatment of Laryngeal Nerve Disorders in Israel
Treatment of nerve disorders in Israel begins with eliminating the cause that triggered the disease. In the presence of tumors, surgical intervention is performed. For hysteria, neuroses, and neurasthenia, specific psychotherapeutic treatment methods are applied. In cases of innervation disorders of the larynx caused by weakened immunity, general body strengthening is necessary. For laryngeal spasms, ultraviolet irradiation may be applied. To relieve tension in the laryngeal nerve apparatus, diathermy and iontophoresis are used.
