Reassess the relationship between hypertension and facial muscle spasms

The difference in hypertension prevalence between HFS patients and patients without HFS showed that the incidence rate of hypertension in HFS patients was 31.3%-61.6%, the incidence rate of hypertension in neurologic patients without HFS was 25.5%-41.0%, and the incidence rate of normal population was 15.4%The incidence of hypertension was significantly higher in patients with HFS compared to patients without HFS and in the normal population (OR s 1.72; 95% CI, 1.12-2.31; p 0.001)- Excerpted from the article chapter: Leong JL, et alSci Rep2016 Feb 19; 6:21082doi: 10.1038/srep21082the relationship between hypertension and facial muscle spasms (hemifacial, HFS) has been disputedClinically, it has been reported that microvascular decompression surgery for some HFS combined hypertension patients, not only effectively control facial muscle spasms, but also improve and even cure hypertensionJia-Li Leong of the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, reviewed literature on the relationship between HFS and hypertension and conducted a meta-analysis, published online in February 2016 in The Secientific Reportsauthors collected 62 relevant clinical studies from databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scholar, and Google.com; A total of 51,585 subjects, including 549 hfS patients and 720 neurologic patients without HFS, and 50,316 patients without HFS were selected for normal human control in the normal populationThe proportion of men in the HFS group and the non-HFS group was 33.2% and 32.1% respectively, and the age range was 20-83 years and 20-90 years old, respectivelyWith the exception of One, Sandell and others, all patients in the study matched their ages and genders withno-significant statistical differencesThe difference in hypertension prevalence between HFS patients and patients without HFS showed that the incidence rate of hypertension in HFS patients was 31.3%-61.6%, the incidence rate of hypertension in neurologic patients without HFS was 25.5%-41.0%, and the incidence rate of normal population was 15.4%The incidence of hypertension was significantly higher in patients with HFS compared to patients without HFS and in the normal population (OR s 1.72; 95% CI, 1.12-2.31; p 0.001)Meta analysis suggests a clear correlation between high blood pressure and HFS, and it is recommended that blood pressure should be closely monitored in patients with HFSAt the same time, in future studies, the correlation between stress and hypertension in patients with HFS should be further assessed.
