valproic acid has been researched along with Blepharospasm in 3 studies
Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.
Blepharospasm: Excessive winking; tonic or clonic spasm of the orbicularis oculi muscle.

| "Valproic acid is used in first case as an antiepileptic; own clinical observance and references from the literature show other indication-fields outside of the group of cerebral fits; so Convulex was employed successfully also in the therapy of perioral dyskinesia of variable etiology and in the medical treatment of therapy-resistant pains within the bounds of Polyneuropathy-Polyneuritis Syndrome." | 3.67 | [Further therapeutic possibilities with valproic acid (Convulex)].
