Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion and ear acupoint pressing method in treating dry eye syndrome.Methods Will meet the inclusion criteria of 63 patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=31) , treated with moxibustion and ear acupoint pressing method, and a control group (n=32) who were given with sodium hyaluronate eye drops. After 4 weeks' treatment, clinic symptom,break-up time of tear film(BUT), fluorescence staining(FL) and tear meniscus height(TMH) were measured and compared respectively.Results After treatment, the BUT (8.28 ± 1.73 svs.5.00 ± 1.51 s,t=11.948) in the treatment group was longer than the control group (P<0.01), FL score (1.00 ± 0.90vs.1.85 ± 1.45,t=4.057) in the treatment group were lower than the control group; TMH(0.28 ± 0.06 mm vs.0.20 ± 0.06 mm,t=6.768) in the treatment group were higher than the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, dry sense (1.61 ± 0.67 vs.2.60 ± 0.89,t=6.053), foreign body(1.00 ± 0.45 vs.1.85 ± 1.45,t=10.460), burning(0. 39 ± 0.67 vs.1.59 ± 0.87, t=6.142), visual fatigue (0.61 ± 0.67 vs.1.50 ± 1.16,t=3.725), eye expansion (0.29 ± 0.46 vs.1.28 ± 1.02, t=4.980), Photophobia (0.77 ± 0.76 vs.1.67 ± 0.90,t=4.092), cry (0.29 ± 0.46 vs.0.59 ± 0.91,t=2.038) integral in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion The effect of moxibustion and ear acupoint pressing method in treating dry eye syndrome is more effective than sodium hyaluronate eye drops.
