Chemical compound and disease context of Blepharospasm

  • Tetrabenazine, lithium, and trihexyphenidyl were most useful for the treatment of oromandibular dystonia, and clonazepam was useful in some patients with blepharospasm [1].
  • Two patients developed either blepharospasm or blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia following chronic therapy with chlorpromazine, haloperidol, or thioridazine [15].
  • To test the safety and effectiveness of Doxil chemomyectomy in monkey eyelids using treatment schedules and doses similar to those proposed for the human blepharospasm patients in Phase I and II trials [5].
  • Episodic GH secretion reappeared 36 h after the last administration of reserpine, at which time the behavioral inhibition and blepharospasm induced by the drug was less pronounced than after 24 h, but brain levels of CAs and 5-HT were still markedly reduced [16].
  • Examination of orbicularis muscle from 10 patients with essential blepharospasm who received 2-18 injections of botulinum toxin 6 weeks to 3 years prior to surgery revealed characteristic nodal, terminal and ultraterminal "sprouting" of the motor axons [17].
