A Study on Clinical Profile of Hemifacial Spasm in India and the Therapeutic Response to Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection as well as Pre and Postinjection Quality of Life
CONCLUSION: This is one of the largest studies on the effects of botulinum toxin in subjects with HFS in the Indian population. Periodic injection of botulinum toxin is a safe and effective therapy for subjects with HFS. There is a significant improvement in the quality of life following botulinum toxin therapy in subjects with HFS. Adverse effects were local, mild, well-tolerated, and reversible.PMID:37355970 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0161 (Source: Journal of the Association of Physicians of India)
