[Observation on the clinical effect of He's fire needle therapy combined with walnut-shell moxibustion on perimenopausal dry eye disease].
Objectives: To observe the clinical effect on perimenopausal dry eye disease treated with He's fire needle therapy combined with walnut-shell moxibustion.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with perimenopausal dry eye disease were randomized into an observation group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases). In the observation group, the pricking technique with fire needle was operated at bilateral Naokong (GB19), Feishu (BL13), Xinshu (BL15), Ganshu (BL18), Pishu (BL20), Shenshu (BL23), 3 times a week, for 4 weeks, and the walnut-shell moxibustion was combined, 30 minutes each time, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks. In the control group, hyaluronic acid sodium eye drops were used, one drop each time, 3 times a day, for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the scores of the questionnaire for dry eye disease in China, the result of lacrimal secretion test (Schimer Ⅰ test, SⅠT) and tear film break-up time(BUT), as well as the modified Kupperman score were evaluated in the two groups. The clinical effect was compared between the two groups.
Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the results of SⅠT and BUT increased (P<0.001), while the scores of the questionnaire for dry eye disease in China, the modified Kupperman score decreased (P<0.001) in the two groups when compared with the baseline. In the observation group, the result of SⅠT and BUT were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), while the scores of the questionnaire for dry eye disease in China, and the modified Kupperman score was lower (P<0.05). The marked effective rate (30/60, 50.0%) in the observation group was better than that (10/60, 16.7%) of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: In treatment of perimenopausal dry eye disease, the combined therapy of fire needling and walnut-shell moxibustion obtains the superior effect to hyaluronic acid sodium eye drops. This combined therapy can effectively relieve the eye symptoms, increase the secretion of tears, prolong BUT, and ameliorate systemic symptoms.
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.
