How to treat hemifacial spasm?

Hemifacial spasm can be treated with drugs first, and carbamazepine is the first choice. After oral administration, symptoms began to improve and gradually worsened, and some patients' seizures could disappear completely. But we should pay attention to its side effects, such as dizziness and ataxia. Besides carbamazepine, clonazepam can also be used to relieve symptoms.

If the drug treatment effect is not good or the symptoms are aggravated, nerve injection treatment can be carried out. Injection methods include facial nerve trunk and branch injection, and injection drugs can be alcohol, 654-2, vitamin B 12, etc. In recent years, local intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A has achieved good results at home and abroad. If the above treatment methods are ineffective, surgery can be performed, and microvascular decompression is more effective.
