Summary
This study tested an experimental pill called dipraglurant in 15 people with blepharospasm, a condition causing uncontrollable eyelid spasms. Participants received either 50 mg, 100 mg, or a placebo to see if the drug is safe and can reduce spasm severity and frequency. The goal was to find a potential new treatment option beyond standard Botox injections.
