Active clinical trials for "Hemifacial Spasm"

Hemifacial spasm patients who received botulinum toxin A injection were divided into two groups. Group A received unilateral injection while group B received bilateral injection. Patients completed follow-up A researcher record facial videos and analyzed facial symmetry and completed 3 scales.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether zinc supplements are effective in enhancing the treatment of oculofacial spasm disorders with botulinum toxin.

Main purpose：In the face of listening to nerve injury at early stage, utilizing autologous adipose stem cell transplantation in the treatment of makes the acceptance micro vascular decompression hemifacial spasm patients to nerve function to obtain a better recovery. Secondary purpose ：To clarify the efficacy of stem cells in the treatment of cranial nerve dysfunction, and to provide evidence for the treatment of other cranial nerve dysfunction. Cases in group：Appearing on the surface of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm to decrease neural electrophysiological index of patients research design：Single center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled Observation index：Facial nerve clinical score, facial nerve muscle compound action potential, electrical measurement, cerebrospinal fluid index Evaluation of therapeutic effect：Facial nerve function evaluation (House-Brackmann classification, facial nerve function classification scale SFGS), facial nerve electrophysiology evaluation (facial nerve muscle compound action potential), electric measurement Safety evaluation：Clear evaluation of hemifacial spasm and micro vascular decompression were listening to nerve in intracranial segment wrapped around the autologous fat stem cell therapy overall safety and evaluation methods including adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram.

Twenty-four consecutive patients with Hemifacial spasm and 25 age and gender-matched randomly selected eyes of healthy volunteers underwent corneal pachymetry and intraocular pressure measurements using Goldmann Applanation Tonometer and non-contact tonometer. An interval of 15 minutes was maintained between Goldmann Applanation Tonometer and non-contact tonometer measurements. Intraocular pressure measurements were performed before (during hemifacial spasm) and 2 weeks after Botox injections in Hemifacial spasm patients and in healthy volunteers without Botox injections. All the measurements with Goldmann Applanation Tonometer were carried out by a single physician while those with the non-contact tonometer were done by another physician who was masked to the results of the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer. All measurements were taken between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m.

The purpose of this study is to provide further information regarding the risks and benefits of Dysport in marketed indications.

Our hypothesis is that botulinum toxin injections (with onabotulinum toxin, incobotulinum toxin, and abobotulinum toxin) given at 10-week or shorter intervals for the indication of treatment of muscle spasms associated with neurological disorders are associated with equal safety and effectiveness as those given at 12-week or longer intervals. We also hypothesize that for those patients who would prefer a shorter inter-injection interval, but for whom their insurance carrier has prevented this, have worse health-related quality of life compared to patients who receive injections at a 10-week or shorter interval. We aim to investigate this hypothesis by collecting demographic and injection data and patient survey responses.

To determine the clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment options of primary hemifacial spasm in Chinese outpatient subjects

Movement disorder involve recurring or constant muscle contractions causing squeezing or twisting movement, such as hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, cervical dystonias etc. The most common focal dystonia was cervical dystonia in western countries according to previous studies, which is different from China in Chinese neurologists' opinion. And there is no such survey. So the investigators are conducting a movement disorder survey in east China to confirm it.

Patients are chosen to participate in this study because they will undergo a particular type of brain surgery to treat their hemifacial spasm. This surgery is called microvascular decompression (MVD) and involves the facial nerve. The facial nerve is being compressed by one or more blood vessels and this contact produces the facial twitches. The investigators do not know why a blood vessel that touches the facial nerve produces facial twitches. The investigators are interested in investigating this during your surgery. A total of 25 participants are expected to participate in this study.

Review the clinical outcomes of Micro vascular decompression of Hemi facial Spasm. Assess safety and efficacy of Micro vascular decompression. Improve the outcome of these patients and decease rate of recurrence and complications.
