Abstract:
This report described one case of acupuncture treatment for acquired paralytic strabismus. Acupoints included bilateral Fengchi (GB20), Sibai (ST2), Taiyang (EX-HN5), Tongziliao (GB1), Jiexi (ST41), and Taichong (LR3). Fengchi (GB20) was treated with the deep-needling nayang technique, Jiexi (ST41) with the qinglong baiwei method, and the remaining acupoints with conventional acupuncture techniques. Needles were retained for 40 min, once daily, six times per week. After two months of treatment, the patient's diplopia resolved, the right eye exhibited flexible abduction, and the ocular position returned to orthotropia. Follow-up over one year showed no recurrence.
