Hemifacial spasm is typically treated through a combination of options. The most common treatment is the injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the affected muscles, which helps reduce involuntary contractions. In more severe cases or when injections are ineffective, surgical options such as microvascular decompression may be considered to relieve pressure on the facial nerve. Medications can also be prescribed to help manage symptoms, though they are generally less effective than other treatments.
