Channel: Larry B. Mellick, MD
Date: 2012-02-04

In this video a patient with hemifacial spasm for over a decade is treated with the anticonvulsant, VIMPAT (lacosamide), and she experiences marked improvement in her symptoms.  Even with a degree of anxiety induced by being in front of a camera, evidence of improvement in the patient's symptoms is demonstrated. The treatment of hemifacial spasm with VIMPAT has not been previously reported.
