description BACKGROUND: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) brings a lot of trouble to patients’ daily life, having a severe influence on the psychological and physical wellbeing of patients. Relevant researches suggested that acupuncture therapy has potential benefits for HFS. However, there is no consistent conclusion. The purpose of our study is to assess whether acupuncture therapy is effective and safe for HFS. METHODS: To collect relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the following electronic databases will be searched: Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, ISI Web of Knowledge, PsycINFO, Allied and Alternative Medieine, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, and Chinese Scientific Journals Database. We will take the cure rate and the total effective rate as the primary outcomes, and change in intensity after treatment, change in frequency after treatment, the recurrence rate, and adverse events as secondary outcomes. Endnote software 9.1 will be used for study selection, Review Manager software 5.3, and STATA 13.0 software will be used for analysis and synthesis. RESULTS: Current relevant studies will be synthesized to assess whether acupuncture therapy is effective and safe for HFS. CONCLUSION: Our research will provide evidence of acupuncture therapy for HFS. REGISTRATION: International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) CRD42019142473.
