Clinical application of ZHENG's warming-dredging needling in ophthalmic diseases
The paper provides an overview of the application of ZHENG's warming-dredging needling in oph-thalmic diseases(including ocular surface diseases,fundus diseases,juvenile myopia,children amblyopia,and other ophthalmic diseases)from the aspects of acupoint selection,manipulation characteristics,and clinical application.It is concluded that ZHENG's warming-dredging needling can significantly reduce the frequency of acupuncture,pro-long the effect duration of acupuncture,and demonstrate a definite therapeutic effect.However,it is noted that there are relatively few experimental studies on the treatment of ophthalmic diseases using ZHENG's warming-dredging needling,and its mechanism remains unclear.Therefore,efforts should be made to standardize the manipulation pro-cedures,optimize the treatment methods,and refine the acupuncture theory to provide a scientific basis for the clini-cal application of warming-dredging needling.
