The Laryngoscope
|April 1, 1987
Abstract:
A transcutaneous electrical stimulation method was used to treat hemifacial spasms. This treatment was applied concomitantly with drug therapy to 21 patients, and was found effective in 17 patients (81%). Electrotherapy is considered to be useful in patients with mild spasms and in those with severe spasms for whom surgical treatment is not possible.
