    Neural circuit blockade (NCB) was developed as a novel approach to treat blepharospasm, addressing the lack of effective treatments.

  • 2

    A retrospective analysis of 570 patients showed that NCB significantly improved blepharospasm symptoms over a median follow-up of 51 months.

  • 3

    Postoperative results indicated that 87.5% of patients achieved complete remission, with significant improvements in various grading scales.

  • 4

    NCB operates by reducing trigeminal nerve stimulation, thereby alleviating muscle tension without causing severe complications.

  • 5

    The study adhered to ethical guidelines and included patients who were refractory to other treatments, ensuring data authenticity.
