我们在撒丁岛（意大利）进行了一项以服务为基础的原发性眼睑痉挛流行病学研究。由于其优越的地理位置，我们有信心为寻求肉毒杆菌毒素治疗的患者提供可靠的数据。共评估了53例患者。患病率估计为32.2/100万（95%置信区间，23.0-40.8）。这些结果与其他类似调查中获得的结果一致，即基于记录，并在欧洲各地区进行，如北方英格兰、慕尼黑地区以及欧洲肌张力障碍流行病学研究。(c)2006运动障碍协会
We performed a service-based epidemiological study of primary blepharospasm in the island of Sardinia (Italy). Due to its favorable geographical location, we are confident we will provide reliable data from patients seeking botulinum toxin treatment. A total of 53 patients were assessed. Prevalence was estimated to be 32.2 per 1 million (95% confidence interval, 23.0-40.8). These results are in line with those obtained in other similar surveys, that is, record-based, and performed in various European regions such as Northern England, the Munich area, as well as the Epidemiologic Study of Dystonia in Europe.
