Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • The degree of relief of blepharospasm was evaluated by Jankovic Rating Scale.

    According to the Jankovic Rating Scale (JRS), in terms of severity and frequency, the score ranges from 0 to 4, with the highest score being 8. The higher the score is, the more severe the spasm is.

    Six months

  • The Blepharospasm Disability Index (BSDI) was used to evaluate the impact of blepharospasm on daily living activities before and after treatment.

    A total of 6 items were included, including walking, reading, driving, shopping, watching television and general activities. Each item was scored from 0 to 4 points and was self-evaluated by the patients. The total score of BSDI was 24 points.The higher the score is, the more severe the spasm is.

    Six months

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) syndrome scale evaluated the change of systemic syndrome before and after treatment.

    The score for each syndrome is the sum of the highest scores obtained for each diagnosis of the syndrome. The full score is 30 points. Efficacy score = (Total score of pre-treatment symptoms➖Total post-treatment symptom score)/Total score of pre-treatment symptoms×100%. Symptoms basically disappear, reducing by 95 to 100 percent; Obvious effect: symptoms decreased significantly, reaching more than 75%; Effective: symptoms decreased to more than 55%; Ineffective: No or slightly reduced symptoms, only less than 50%..

    Six months

  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    According to whether there are common side effects of botulinum toxin such as ptosis, diplopia, photophobia, dry eye, gastrointestinal tract of exposed keratitis, whether there are gastrointestinal reactions and other side effects that may be related to the Chinese medicine granule preparation in this study.

    Six months

  • According to the Jankovic rating scale, the recurrence was determined at 14 days, 42 days, 3 months and 6 months after medication

    According to the Jankovic rating scale, the recurrence situation at 14 days, 42 days, 3 months and 6 months after medication was determined, and the increase of spasm intensity by 1 grade or more was considered as recurrence.

    Six months

  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by systemic response, routine blood tests, liver function (ALT), kidney function (BUN, Cr).

    1. Systemic reaction (record at any time); 2. Routine blood tests: the detection points were 14 days, 42 days, 3 months and 6 months after the first visit and treatment; 3. Liver function (ALT), kidney function (BUN, Cr) : The detection points were 14 days, 42 days, three months and six months after the first visit and treatment.

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will take Wumei pill granule orally.

Drug: Wumeiwan Jiawei Fang

botulinum toxin A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group, Botulinum toxin type A (Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Co. LTD.) was injected locally around the eye.

Drug: botulinum toxin A

Wumeiwan Jiawei Fang

Botulinum toxin (Lanzhou Biopharmaceutical Co., LTD.) was injected into the medial side of the upper eyelid, the lateral side of the upper eyelid, the lateral side of the lower eyelid, and the temporal orbicularis oculi muscle of the lateral canthus. The botulinum toxin type A was diluted into 50IU/ML with normal saline and injected with a 1ml skin test syringe (4\\ 5-gauge needle), and 2.5IU was injected into each point. A total of 1 injection.
