          Abstract

          Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is an involuntary intermittent twitching of the facial muscles. Medical and surgical treatments can be considered for HFS. Among medical treatments, clonazepam is a benzodiazepine used to treat epilepsy, psychiatric symptoms, and movement disorders. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of clonazepam for the treatment of HFS.
