| Abstract
|
| Objective: To elucidate the influence of quantitative acupuncture methods on aqueous outflow (F value) in patients at "clinical early stage" of glaucoma or remission stage and with high intra-ocular pressure. Methods: One hundred and ninety-eight patients (204 eyes) were divided randomly into treatment group and control group. The changes of F value were detected 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after acupuncture respectively. The rabbit’s aqueous humor was analyzed after acupuncture biochemically. Results: After effective analysis of the data obtained from three periods, it was found that there was a significant effect in treatment (P<0.05) and an obviously distinct change in the ionic concentration and osmotic pressure in rabbit’s aqueous humor. Conclusion: The quantitative acupuncture method has a remarkable influence on aqueous outflow and is one of the effective methods for preventing and treating glaucoma. |
