[Treatment of local hyperkinesis]

Macheret EL, Korkushko AO, Kovalenko OE.

Insufficient effectiveness of medicamentous therapy of local hyperkineses necessitated quest for other treatment options. In view of pathogenetic features of this pathological process we have chosen reflexotherapy to be instituted in our patients: auriculopuncture, electro-corporal- and acupuncture which have been shown to be expedient and effective in treating 65 patients with local hyperkinesis (blepharospasm, facial paraspasm, writer's spasm, spasmodic torticollis). Positive findings from clinical and paraclinical methods of investigation corroborate the results of the treatments administered.
