  • Blepharospasm: involuntary eyelid twitching
  • Hemifacial spasms: involuntary twitching of one side of the face
  • Hyperhidrosis: excessive sweating
  • Chronic migraine: headaches for more than 14 days a month
  • Focal action dystonia: writer’s cramp
  • Spasticity: involuntary, limiting and possibly painful, muscle stiffness due to medical conditions such as strokes, head trauma, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis
  • Tremors: involuntary rhythmic shaking, usually of the upper limbs or head, voice or lower limbs
