Official Title: Comparison of Different Botulinum Toxin A Injection Patterns in the Treatment of Blepharospasm
Brief Summary: To evaluate the efficacy of different botulinum toxin A injection patterns in treating benign essential blepharospasm and to compare their influence on condition of eye surface .
Detailed Summary: The authors performed a prospective double-blinded randomised clinical trial of 60 patients with an established diagnosis of benign essential blepharospasm from February 2013 to December 2015. Patients received a full injection pattern of 5 sites on one eye and a medial lower eyelid waived injection pattern of 4 sites on the other eye randomly. They were surveyed on ocular surface disease index (OSDI), Jankovic rating scale (JRS), blepharospasm disability index (BSDI) prior to injection and 1week, 1month and 3 months after injection. At these time points, closure of the eyelid, tear break up time (BUT), Schirmer test I, and lower lid tear meniscus height (TMH) were also measured.

Current Primary Outcome:
- Changes of Jankovic rating scale (JRS) from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Changes of lower lid tear meniscus height (TMH) from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Changes of blepharospasm disability index (BSDI) from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Changes of ocular surface disease index (OSDI) from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Changes of tear break up time (BUT) from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Changes of closure of the eyelid from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- Changes of Schirmer test I from baseline at 1week, 1month and 3 months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
