Appilication research of auricular acupressure combined with periocular transcutaneous electrical stimulation of acupoints in 6-12 years old mild myopia children
Objective To observe the application effect of auricular acupressure combined with periocular transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation in 6-12 years old mild myopia children.Methods By using the randomized data chart to divide 132 cases of children with mild myopia in an elementary school in Shijiazhuang from November 2022 to April 2023 into three groups:auricular acupressure group,periocular percutaneous acupoint electrostimulation group,and combined group,with 44 cases in each group.Routine nursing care was given to the children of the three groups.In the periocular transcutaneous electrical stimulation group,periocular transcutaneous electrical stimulation was given,auricular acupressure combined with periocular transcutaneous electrical stimulation was given to the combined group.The intervention course of the patients in the three groups was one course of treatment every four weeks,with a pause of one week after the first course of treatment,and then a second course of treatment,for a total of two courses of treatment.We compared the naked eye distance visual acuity,refractive error,adjusting sensitivity and the total score of ocular local symptoms of the three groups of children before treatment,after 1 course of treatment,and after 2 courses of treatment,and observed the therapeutic effect on children with mild myopia.Results At the end of the intervention,a total of 8 children were dislodged,and 124 children were finally included,which were 41 patients in the auricular acupoint pressure group,41 patients in the periocular transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation group,and 42 children in the combined group.the naked eye visual acuity,refractive error,accommodation sensitivity,and total ocular local symptom scores of the children in the 3 groups before the treatment were compared,and the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The differences in naked eye visual acuity,refractive error,adjustment sensitivity and total ocular local symptom scores of the patients in the 3 groups after the 1st course of the treatment and 2nd course of the treatment were compared.The differences in naked-eye distance visual acuity,refraction,accommodation sensitivity and total ocular local symptom scores of the three groups after the first and second sessions of intervention were statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences in naked eye visual acuity,refractive error,and the comparison of total ocular local symptoms of 3 groups were statistically significant(P<0.05)when comparing the three groups,with the difference between the combined group and the auricular acupressure group and the periocular transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation group being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The three interventions can effectively improve the naked eye distance visual acuity,refraction,adjustment sensitivity and ocular local symptoms of children and adolescents with mild myopia,and have the effect of treating and preventing and controlling the progression of myopia in children and adolescents with mild myopia,with good efficacy,and the combined treatment for the treatment of mild myopia and the prevention and control of mild myopia in children and adolescents is better than the single auricular acupressure treatment or periocular percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation treatment.
