A case of central retinal artery occlusion treated by low-power needling of the retrobulbar point with insulation acupuncture needle
This paper report a case of central retinal artery occlusion treated by low-power needling of the retrobulbar point with insulation acupuncture needle.Central retinal artery occlusion is an ophthalmologic emergency that requires timely and early treatment.Currently,there is no targeted treatment for this disease in western medicine,especially in the recovery period of central retinal artery occlusion,there is no effective treatment.In this case,the patient was treated with western standardized emergency treatment such as oxygen,lowering intraocular pressure and improving blood circulation in the pre-morbid period,and the visual acuity of the affected eye at the time of consultation was counting finger/30 cm,and according to the condition of the patient,low-power electro-acupuncture treatment was performed using an insulated needle with a needle body on the posterior bulbous acupoint,in which the flow rate of the electric current was ≤ 3 mA,the frequency was 2 Hz,and the output mode was meridian needle mode.After two months of electroacupuncture treatment,the patient's visual acuity improved significantly from counting finger/30 cm to 0.5,and the range of visual fields improved significantly.By analyzing this case and reviewing the relevant literature,it focus on the therapeutic significance of electroacupuncture in the recovery period of patients with central retinal artery occlusion,and then extend it to the clinical treatment of various retinal vascular diseases and ischemic optic nerve diseases.
