Effect of auricular point sticking therapy on infantile amblyopia

Objective To compare the differences of effect on infantile amblyopia treated with auricular point sticking therapy and regular comprehensive therapy of western medicine.Methods Two hundreds and thirty cases of amblyopia patients were randomly divided into two groups,namely the group of auricular point sticking therapy,which had 120 cases（212 eyes）,and the group of comprehensive therapy,which had 110 cases（194 eyes）.The seed of Semen Vaccariae was applied at the ear point such as the eye,ear Shenmen,the liver,the spleen and the kidney.Regular comprehensive therapy of western medicine included covering method,vision corrected with glasses and fine exercise.Vision improvements of the two groups were observed with a three-year follow up.Results The effective rates of the auricular point sticking therapy group and comprehensive therapy group of ametropic amblyopia were 81.0%（64/79） and 52.2%（36/69）,respectively.The effective rates of anisometropic amblyopia of the two groups were 73.1%（49/67） and 47.7%（31/65）,respectively.And the effective rates of the two groups of strabismic amblyopia were 71.2%（47/66） and 45.0%（27/60）,respectively.The therapeutic effects of auricular point sticking therapy on all kinds of amblyopia were better than those of the comprehensive therapy（all P0.05）.Conclusion The effect of auricular point sticking therapy on infantile amblyopia is better than that of regular comprehensive therapy of western medicine,which can obviously improve the vision of the patients with easy manipulations.

耳穴贴压治疗儿童弱视疗效观察

目的:比较耳穴贴压与常规西医综合疗法治疗儿童弱视的疗效差异。方法:将230例弱视患儿随机分为两组,耳压组120例(212眼)采用王不留行籽贴压耳穴眼、神门、肝、脾、肾等治疗,综合组110例(194眼)运用西医常规综合疗法治疗,包括遮盖法、配镜矫正及家庭精细作业训练。分别观察两组患儿视力改善情况,并随访3年。结果:屈光不正性弱视耳压组、综合组有效率分别为81.0%(64/79)、52.2%(36/69);屈光参差性弱视耳压组、综合组有效率分别为73.1%(49/67)、47.7%(31/65);斜视性弱视耳压组、综合组有效率分别为71.2%(47/66)、45.0%(27/60),各类型弱视耳压组的疗效均优于综合组(均P<0.05)。结论:耳穴贴压治疗儿童弱视疗效优于西医常规综合疗法,可明显改善患儿的视力情况,且操作简便。
