Methods Eighty-eight xerophthalmia patients were randomly divided into group A （periocular acupuncture） and group B （acupuncture combined with pyonex）. The treatment was conducted once a day, twelve days were one course of treatment, and two courses were needed in total. The changes of symptom score of eyes, Schirmer I test （SIT） and break-up time （BUT） of patients in the two groups before and after treatment were observed. Results The symptom score of eyes （8.36＋2.54 vs. 5.36_＋2.65）, SIT （5.82＋4.61 vs. 8.33＋4.24） and BUT （5.92＋2.03 vs. 6.78＋2.46） of patients in the two groups after treatment were improved when compared with those before treatment. The total effective rate of group B was superior to that of group A （86.3% vs. 63.6%）（all P〈0.05）. Conclusion The efficacy of acupuncture combined with pyonex in treatment of xerophthalmia is significant, which can effectively improve the symptoms of xerophthalmia, and is superior to simple periocular acupuncture in terms of SIT and BUT.展开更多

This therapy is not only based on such common methods in TCM as ＂retaining in static＂ and ＂selecting points based on pattern differentiation＂ in clinical point selection, but also extends Zhang Zhong-jing prescription theory to ＂acupoint selection＂ and ＂specialized in macro use＂ in acupoint selection of pyonex. The specific experience includes（1） rational use of specific points in fourteen meridians,（2） skillful use of extra points and empirical points in TCM,（3） holographic point selection, and（4） selection of positive points with painful locality taken as an acupoint. The application of pyonex by physician WU Mao-wen is perfect, professional and safe, without pain, and can significantly improve symptoms, so it is worth being promoted.展开更多
