| Number of subjects with adverse drug reactions | Up to 1 year | The investigator will collect the information about all adverse drug reactions including diseases and symptoms, occurring after the first administration of Botox, regardless of whether they are related to BOTOX. |
| Change from Baseline in voice handicap index (VHI)-10 scores | Baseline and up to 1 year | The VHI is a 30-item questionnaire divided into 3 subsections including functional, physical, and emotional which measures the effect of voice problems on quality of life. Subjects will mark each item on this 30-item questionnaire on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 being never and 4 being always). Points for each subscale are tallied and a total composite score is also given. A total score of 0-11 is considered normal, 12-28 is considered mild minimal handicap, 29-56 is considered moderate handicap, and 57-120 is considered severe handicap. |
| Efficacy rate based on global assessment of efficacy | Up to 1 year | The efficacy rate is the number of subjects assessed as effective based on the course of subjective symptoms and clinical symptoms during the observation period from the date of the first administration of BOTOX injections. |
