Action for Dystonia, A .D.D.E.R Patrons: Sir Tom Cowie Denise Robertson Dr Miriam Stoppard Charity Registration No: 1077578 The Epidemiological Survey of Dystonia (ESD) Blepharospasm - An lnterim Definition This paper is designed as an assistance to people in defining what Blepharospasm is, how it can affect people and help to determine how it may be treated. The information is taken from the Epidemiological Survey of Dystonia (ESD), which was completed after six full years of research from 6th May 1993 to 5th May 1999 with 937 people registered in the North East of England. There are currently 1,600 people registered in the ESD. There were 165 people with Blepharospasm in the ESD with 5 people with Blepharospasm as well as other forms of dystonia. This represents 17.6% of the entire dystonic population in the survey. These were divided between 66 patients at Hunters Moor Hospital in Newcastle, 47 from Sunderland Eye Infirmary and 33 North Riding Infirmary patients with 19 others not registered at these three main hospitals in the region. Darlington is a typical North Eastern town with approximately 100,000 population. Therefore, using Darlington as a testing ground for the research, it has currently the highest concentration of dystonia anywhere in the world, with currently 48.14 people per 100,000 people with dystonia. There were 12 cases of Blepharospasm in the Postal Codes DL1, DL2 and DL3, thus making an average 11. 9 cases per 100,000 people in the town.

Proclamation 5721 Benign Essential Blepharospasm Awareness Week, 1987 October 5, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation A little-known but debilitating neuromuscular disease produces functional blindness in thousands of Americans. The disorder, benign essential blepharospasm , causes involuntary and usually uncontrollable spasms of the muscles around the eyes that force the eyelids shut. As the disease progresses, the spasms become almost continuous. Approximately 30,000 Americans suffer from benign essential blepharospasm . Most of them first experience symptoms in their fifth or sixth decade, although younger people are also affected. In the early stages of the disease, when the patient experiences an occasional extra wink or blink, there is only a slight impact on the quality of life. But when the spasms are more frequent, the patient cannot perform simple tasks such as reading or cooking, and ordinary activities such as driving a car become dangerous. Treatment with drugs or surgery can temporarily relieve the symptoms of benign essential blepharospasm , but as yet there is no cure. Scientists are attempting to find improved treatments and to learn more about the causes of this condition. Three biomedical research agencies the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, the National Eye Institute, and the National Institute of Mental Health lead the Federal research attack. Support for research is also provided by the Benign Essential

In some instances, the eyelid may repeatedly close (or nearly close) and re-open. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Once spasms begin, they may continue off and on for a few days. Then, they disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it very annoying. In most cases, you won't even notice when the twitch has stopped. More severe contractions, where the eyelid completely closes, are possible. These can be caused by irritation of the surface of the eye (cornea) or the membranes lining the eyelids (conjunctiva). Sometimes, the reason your eyelid is twitching cannot be identified. This form of eyelid twitching lasts much longer, is often very uncomfortable, and can also cause your eyelids to close completely.
