We injected botulinum toxin to treat hemifacial spasm, and investigated the effects and the patient's impression of this treatment. Average duration of improvement lasted about 3.5 months in both the initial treatment group and the recurrent group. However the patients in the recurrent group received fewer units of botulinum toxin than those in the initial treatment group. Except for local paralysis that disappeared within a month, there were very few complications. Most patient were satisfied with this treatment. We conclude that the treatment of hemifacial spasm with botulinum toxin is both simple and useful.
我们注射肉毒杆菌毒素来治疗面肌痉挛，并研究这种治疗方法的效果及患者的感受。初始治疗组和复发组的平均改善持续时间均约为3.5个月。然而，复发组患者接受的肉毒杆菌毒素剂量比初始治疗组少。除了在一个月内消失的局部麻痹外，并发症很少。大多数患者对这种治疗感到满意。我们得出结论，用肉毒杆菌毒素治疗面肌痉挛既简单又有效。
