This study aimed to determine the long-term quality of life (QoL) in hemifacial spasm (HFS) patients after treating with Abo-botulinum toxin A (Abo-BTX). The study assessed the disease-specific QoL (hemifacial spasm questionnaire 30 items; HFS 30), the involuntary movements (abnormal involuntary movement scale; AIMS), general health QoL (Medical Outcomes 36-Item Short Form Health Survey; SF-36), and Depression (the Center of Epidemiologic Studies-Depression questionnaire; CES-D). A total of 74 HFS patients were enrolled from 2012 to 2017. The disease-specific QoL; involuntary movements; and the general health domain of SF 36 were significantly improved after injections of Abo-BTX A in the first few years ( < 0.04), but significantly decreased at the fifth year of treatment without significant clinical resistance observed ( < 0.001). Only the general health domain of SF 36 showed persistent improvement over five years ( = 0.02). In summary, Abo-BTX A can improved quality of life in the first few years; however only the general health domain of SF-36 showed significant improvement over five years ( = 0.02). No clinical resistance was observed.
本研究旨在评估 Abo 型肉毒毒素 A(Abo-BTX)治疗后面肌痉挛(HFS)患者的长期生活质量(QoL)。研究评估了疾病特异性 QoL(面肌痉挛 30 项问卷;HFS 30)、不自主运动(异常不自主运动量表;AIMS)、一般健康 QoL(医疗结局 36 项简短健康调查;SF-36)和抑郁(流行病学研究中心抑郁量表;CES-D)。2012 年至 2017 年间共纳入 74 例 HFS 患者。Abo-BTX A 注射后前几年(<0.04),疾病特异性 QoL、不自主运动和 SF 36 的一般健康领域显著改善,但在治疗第五年时显著下降,未观察到明显的临床抵抗(<0.001)。只有 SF 36 的一般健康领域在五年内持续改善(=0.02)。总之,Abo-BTX A 可在最初几年内改善生活质量;然而,只有 SF-36 的一般健康领域在五年内有显著改善(=0.02)。未观察到临床抵抗。
