Abstract:
Objective By analyzing and summarizing the acupoint application rules in the treatment of dry eye syndrome (DES) with acupuncture, to provide references and evidences for acupuncture prescriptions.Method Clinical articles published during the recent 10 years on the treatment of DES with acupuncture were collected to summarize and assort the frequency, meridian affiliation and attribution of the commonly-used acupoints.Result Jingming (BL 1) had the highest frequency, and the selected acupoints, predominantly the periocular points, were majorly from the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang.Conclusion In the treatment of DES with acupuncture, periocular acupoints such as Jingming (BL 2), Cuanzhu (BL 2), Taiyang (EX-HN 5) and Sizhukong (TE 23) were mainly selected, and the selection of acupoints should follow the along-meridian and syndrome-differentiation principles.
