Botox

has someone confirmed that Botox-to-the-vocal-cords thing? that's too funny. Estephan500 18:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed that. It's quite clearly a joke/vandalism. (Some patients have been treated by injecting botulinum toxin near the vocal cords. This does not prevent the vocalizations, but the partial paralysis that results helps to control the volume of any outbursts.) - 139.184.30.17 10:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check PubMed or google; there are numerous studies. I cited only three, but there are more. Please consider checking google before deleting content. Sandy 13:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't change the fact that it's ridiculous at best and medical malpractice at worst.

Origin of word

This articles says coprolalia comes from greek lalia meanning "meaningless talk" yet the glossalalia page says that "lalo" means merely "speaking." Why the discrepancy? Amulekii 05:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know: I didn't insert that text, and I'm not certain of the answer. Sandy 12:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sandy, that was most helpful.

Original research removed

Removed anon original research from article for discussion:

Although this figure of an occurence of less than 15% of patients that have coprolalia is often quoted, it is hard to find any hard evidence that supports it. A review of abstracts from "Medline" would suggest a more likely figure, supported by research, of over 30%. 195.248.119.71 (talk · contribs)

If the anon editor who inserted it wants to discuss, I'll explain. Sandy 23:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added studies and context to the article, to explain the misapplication of older data. Sandy 20:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
