Method: a descriptive and longitudinal study was carried out in 21 patients attended in Neurology service with hemifacial spasm and botulinum toxin type A treatment, from January 2018 to January 2019. The variables studied were: age, gender, hemiface affected, latency period, duration, disappearance of the clinical effects of botulinum toxin type A, and percentage of functional disability in patients when applying the disability scale before and after the treatment.
Results: female cases predominated (57.1%), ages over 55 years (57.14 %), the most common affected side of the face was the left, with 57.14 %, the latency period of botulinum toxin type A was between the third to the tenth day in 14 of the patients (66.67 %), the maximum time of duration of treatment ranged from one to two months (57.14 %), and the disappearance of the therapeutic effect of the toxin in the patients was between the third to the fourth month (52.38%). After the application of the clinical assessment scale of hemifacial spasm, a decrease in the percentage of patients with functional disability was evidenced.
Conclusions: botulinum toxin type A is effective in the treatment of hemifacial spasm.
