Biofeedback therapy of essential blepharospasm.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Eight patients with essential blepharospasm were given five consecutive sessions of electromyogram biofeedback from cutaneous electrodes placed over the frontalis muscle. Four of the eight patients demonstrated a 60% or greater reduction in blepharospasm frequency. Posttreatment electromyogram significantly predicted improvement of blepharospasm. These data suggest that electromyogram biofeedback may provide a therapeutic alternative to the treatment of this disabling condition.
