Clinical efficacy of fire acupuncture in the treatment of blepharospasmic dysfunction dry eye in high altitude area
OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of fire for blepharospasm dysfunction dry eye at high altitude.Meth-ods:Patients with dry eye due to blepharosphenoid gland dysfunction were collected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group.The control group was given 0.3%sodium vitrate eye drops,and the experimental group was treated with fire needle on this basis,and the clinical efficacy was observed before and after the treatment;results:compared with the same group before treatment,the ocular surface fluorescence staining score(FL),ocular symptomatic score,and ocular surface disease index score(OSDI)of the control group and the experimental group were lower than before after the treatment(P<0.05),and the a-mount of tear secretion(SIt)and the tear film break-up time(BUT)were higher than before.BUT)were all higher than before(P<0.05),and SIt and BUT were significantly higher in the experimental group compared with the control group after treatment(P<0.05);the ocular symptom score,FL,and OSDI were all decreased significantly(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Fire is ef-fective in the treatment of dry eye due to blepharoplasty dysfunction at high altitude,and the clinical efficacy of the combined treatment is better than that of sodium vitrate eye drops alone.
