Primary outcomes
- Jankovic Rating Scale (JRS) Change From Baseline in the JRS Severity Subscore at Week 6 After Injection (Assessed by a Blinded Independent Rater) — Baseline, week 6
The Jankovic Rating Scale (JRS) is used for classification of the patient's individual symptoms of blepharospasm and for determination of the therapeutic efficacy of study medication. The JRS sumscore is the sum of the two components of the scale: * JRS-Severity score which ranges from 0 (=absence of severity) to 4 (=maximum severity) * JRS-Frequency score which ranges from 0 (=no frequency) to 4 (=maximum frequency) The change from baseline was calculated as the score at the corresponding visit minus the baseline score.
