Background: Blepharospasm (BSP) is a type of focal dystonia and a number of patients with BSP have relatives also affected by BSP. The objective of this study was to quantify eye closure rates during activities of daily living in individuals with BSP and individuals without BSP with and without a first-degree relative with BSP.
Methods: 37 patients with BSP (BSP group), 10 asymptomatic volunteers with a first-degree relative with BSP (RELATIVES group) and 25 asymptomatic volunteers without relatives with BSP (HV group) were recruited. The number of eye closures for each task were counted per 60 seconds, with a video recording. Within and between groups statistical comparisons of eye-closure rates were performed.
Results: The eye-closure rates of the RELATIVES group were not different from the BSP group for the majority of the tasks (except for watching television), and the HV group (for all tasks). The rate of eye closures in the BSP group compared to HV, was significantly increased in two tasks, resting and watching television.
Discussion: Eye closure rate varies considerably during activities of daily living in all groups. Individuals with first degree relative with BSP are more likely to have increased eye closure rate at rest.
