Eye muscle spasm with hot compresses work?

Hot compresses for eyelid spasms can provide some relief. Blepharospasm can be caused by a variety of reasons, manifested as involuntary contraction of the eyelids, causing uncontrollable eyelid closure and blinking. In the early stages of the disease, it can be treated with a conservative therapy of massage and local hot compresses, which are applied to the top of the spastic eyelid with a towel dipped in warm water at about 42°C, wrung out, and with the eyes closed. 2-3 times a day, for about 10 minutes each time. With this conservative treatment, most blepharospasms can be reduced or improved. However, pathological blepharospasm is not treated with physical therapy or heat alone, but requires more specialized treatment, including sedative medications, botulinum toxin injections, and surgery. While there are many surgical treatments, most surgical treatments are minor cosmetic surgery and are not particularly effective. And physical therapy is not recommended for acupuncture treatment, acupuncture may lead to aggravation of the condition.
