Beyond the needle: how clinician expertise affects outcomes in the treatment of hemifacial spasm
The results did not show a statistically significant association between the level of expertise and the occurrence of adverse events. The frequency of observed adverse events was similar between the groups. This suggests that the occurrence of adverse events following BoNT administration was comparable regardless of whether the procedure was performed by a neurologist or a resident under supervision.
