Is electroacupuncture in Xi'an ophthalmology effective for myopia?

Eye electroacupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which is said to improve vision problems. Many people are skeptical of the effect of Xi'an ophthalmic electroacupuncture on myopia. In the next article, I will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.

Principle of ophthalmic electroacupuncture

Eye electroacupuncture is a therapeutic method that introduces needle current into the eyes. It regulates the function of the eyes and relieves fatigue by stimulating the acupoints of the eyes. This therapy can improve vision mainly by improving eye blood flow, enhancing eye nutrition supply and promoting eye metabolism.

The ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment carried out by a hospital in Xi'an was carried out by professional doctors to ensure safe operation and compliance with medical standards. The doctor draws the patient's eye acupoint map and uses fine needles to stimulate the eye acupoints carefully. Weak current is used during acupuncture to enhance the stimulation effect.

The therapeutic effect needs to be proved

Although ophthalmic electroacupuncture has its theoretical basis in treating myopia, its efficacy remains to be proved. At present, only a few studies have explored it, but it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion.

In a small-scale clinical trial in a hospital, 10 myopic patients were randomly divided into two groups, one receiving ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment and the other receiving placebo treatment. The results showed that patients receiving ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment improved their vision to a certain extent, but there was no significant difference in the extent of improvement compared with the placebo group.

Other studies have also obtained similar results, indicating that ophthalmic electroacupuncture may have short-term effects on some myopia patients, but the long-term effects are still uncertain.

Risks and side effects

The risks and side effects of ophthalmic electroacupuncture for myopia should also be considered. Although this treatment is carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, there are still potential risks.

The patient may have bleeding, infection and other complications due to the acupuncture operation in the eye. In addition, if the current is not properly controlled, it may cause damage to the eye tissue and have a negative impact on vision. Therefore, when receiving ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment, patients should choose a regular hospital and follow the doctor's recommendations and operating specifications.

Summary

Although the ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment of myopia may have a short-term effect on vision to a certain extent, its long-term effect is still controversial. The current research is not enough to support the widespread use of this therapy.

If the patient intends to try ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment, it is very important to choose a regular hospital and a senior doctor. In addition, patients should also understand the potential risks and side effects, and carefully weigh the pros and cons before using the treatment.

In a word, the current evidence is not sufficient for the effectiveness of Xi'an ophthalmic electroacupuncture in the treatment of myopia. When deciding whether to accept ophthalmic electroacupuncture treatment, patients should consider its effects and risks comprehensively, and make the best decision under the guidance of doctors.
