ABSTRACT:
A method and devices for transcutaneous or transmucosal stimulation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve are provided. Recurrent laryngeal nerve stimulation is delivered by applying electric charge from an electrode in the form of a probe or an indwelling device to the intact neck skin at specific points along the tracheoesophageal groove or to mucosa within the esophagus, larynx, or trachea. In accordance with the present invention vocal cord excursion is related to frequency of the electrical stimulus.
