针刺治疗干眼症的临床研究

Clinical studies of acupuncture treatment on dry eye syndrome

目的研究针刺联合药物治疗干眼症的疗效。方法本研究收集了从2007年8月至2008年3月共31例干眼症的患者,其中男5例,女26例。治疗前常规检查后,随机分为针刺药物组(15例30只眼)和药物对照组(16例30只眼)。针药组患者使用滴眼液点眼加针刺治疗,药物组单纯使用滴眼液滴眼,治疗完成后对所有病人进行随访,时间为30天。记录并对比分析两组病人SIT、BUT、疗效以及中医证候评分各项数据。结果针刺治疗前后两组比较,针刺药物组治疗后SIT、BUT差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。针刺药物组的有效率为96.7%,药物对照组的有效率为80%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组在治疗后中医症候评分差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论针刺配合药物治疗干眼症疗效优于单纯药物治疗。

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of the combination of acupuncture with drugs for the treatment of dry eye syndrome. METHODS In order to make a confirmation that the effect of the combination of acupuncture with drugs for the treatment of dry eye syndrome was better than that of drugs treatment,we collected 31 patients with dry eye syndromes, 5 of which were male and 26 were female. After regular examinations, patients were randomly divided into combination of acupuncture with drugs group and drugs group. The former group was treated by acupuncture and eye drops, while the later group was treated by eye drops. Follow up was made at the end of the treatment. The data of SIT, BUT, E2 and T were recorded and evaluated, as well as the effect. RESULTS Compared with eye drops group, the SIT and BUT of acupuncture plus eye drops group had significant statistical differences （P〈0.05）. The effective rate of former group was 96.7%,while the control group was 80% ,which had significant statistical differences （P〈0.05）. The two groups had no differences in Chinese medicine syndrome scoring after treatment. CONCLUSIONS The effect of combination of acupuncture with drugs for the treatment of dry eye syndrome was better than that of drugs treatment.
