Methods：A total of 64 adolescents with pseudo-myopia were allocated into a treatment group and a control group by the random number table, 32 cases in each group （64 eyes）. Cases in the treatment group were treated with tuina combined with needling distal points, whereas cases in the control group were treated with the same tuina method （manipulations, treatment area and time） as those in the treatment group. The treatment was done once a day for 10 d as a treatment course. They were treated for 3 courses and there was a 2-day interval between two courses. After 3 treatment courses, all cases were re-examined for the short-term effect on uncorrected eyesight using the logarithmic visual acuity chart and on diopter using retinophotoscopy. Results：After 3 treatment courses, the visual acuity in both groups was improved. The total effective rate was 92.2% in the treatment group, versus 82.8% in the control group, showing a statistical significance （P〈0.05） and indicating a better effect in the treatment group than that in the control group. Conclusion：Tuina combined with needling distal points is remarkably effective for pseudo-myopia in adolescents. Since it doesn’t cause fear （from needling local points around the eyes）, it’s easy to be accepted by adolescents and worthy of further clinical application.展开更多
