Abstract
Objectives: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture in treatment of oculomotor nerve palsy guided by Biaoben Genjie theory (focusing on the distribution, connection and gathering of meridian qi in the body).
Methods: A total of 62 patients with oculomotor nerve palsy were selected according to inclusion criteria of the trial. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 31 cases in each group. The conventional treatment with Western medicine was used in the two groups. Besides, in the control group, the regular acupuncture was provided, and in the observation group, acupuncture was delivered under the guidance of Biaoben Genjie theory. In the 2 groups, the treatment was given once daily, for 30 min each time and one course of treatment was composed of 6 d. Six courses were required with the interval of 1 d between two courses. The degree of diplopia, the degree of strabismus and the score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) main symptoms were recorded before and after the treatment of the 2 groups separately, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in each group.
Results: The degrees of diplopia and strabismus decreased significantly (P<0.05) compared with those before treatment in the 2 groups, and the degrees in the observation group were lower (P<0.05) than those of the control group. The TCM main symptoms score of both groups were reduced significantly (P<0.05) compared with those before treatment, and the score in the observation group was lower (P<0.05) than that of the control group. The effective rate was 93.55% (29/31) in the observation group, better (P<0.05) than that (83.87%, 26/31) of the control group.
Conclusions: Acupuncture based on Biaoben Genjie theory can effectively relieve the ocular symptoms of the affected eyes in the patients with oculomotor nerve palsy, and the effect is better when compared with the regular acupuncture.
期刊介绍:
Acupuncture Research was founded in 1976. It is an acupuncture academic journal supervised by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, co-sponsored by the Institute of Acupuncture of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the Chinese Acupuncture Association. This journal is characterized by "basic experimental research as the main focus, taking into account clinical research and reporting". It is the only journal in my country that focuses on reporting the mechanism of action of acupuncture.
The journal has been changed to a monthly journal since 2018, published on the 25th of each month, and printed in full color. The manuscript acceptance rate is about 10%, and provincial and above funded projects account for about 80% of the total published papers, reflecting the latest scientific research results in the acupuncture field and has a high academic level. Main columns: mechanism discussion, clinical research, acupuncture anesthesia, meridians and acupoints, theoretical discussion, ideas and methods, literature research, etc.
