Abstract

Objective: To observe the effectiveness of intense pulsed light(IPL) treatment as an adjuvant treatment of refractory seasonal allergic conjunctivitis in children.

Methods: A total of 31 patients with refractory seasonal allergic conjunctivitis who did not respond well to anti-allergic drug treatment were randomly selected to receive drug therapy combined with IPL treatment (17 patients) and drug treatment alone (14 patients) for 1 week, and the ocular surface symptom questionnaire and ocular surface sign score were performed before and after treatment, respectively.

Result: After treatment, the IPL group had significantly lower scores in eye rubbing, blinking, eye itching, discharge, tearing, and total scores than before treatment (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in foreign body sense scores before and after treatment (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in eye rubbing, blinking, eye itching, discharge, foreign body sensation, tearing, and total score between the control group after treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the scores of ocular signs in the IPL group and the control group were lower than those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: IPL therapy is effective in improving ocular surface symptoms in children with refractory seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, especially in suppressing eye itching, with good results.

IPL治疗儿童难治性季节性变应性结膜炎的疗效观察。

目的：观察强脉冲光辅助治疗儿童难治性季节性变应性结膜炎的疗效。方法：随机选取抗过敏药物治疗效果不佳的难治性季节性变应性结膜炎患者31例，分别接受药物联合IPL治疗（17例）和单独药物治疗（14例），疗程1周，治疗前后分别进行眼表症状问卷调查和眼表体征评分。结果：治疗后，IPL组揉眼评分、眨眼评分、眼痒评分、排液评分、流泪评分及总分均较治疗前显著降低（P < 0.05）。治疗后两组患者揉眼、眨眼、眼痒、分泌物、异物感、流泪、总分比较，差异均无统计学意义（P < 0.05）。治疗后，IPL组和对照组的眼部体征评分均低于治疗前，差异有统计学意义(P)。结论：IPL治疗可有效改善难治性季节性变应性结膜炎患儿眼表症状，尤其是对眼痒的抑制，效果较好。
