Abstract
    [Objective] To observe the clinical effect of direct acupuncture method in treating traumatic external opthalmoplegia and explore the treatment mechanism.[Methods] Forty-nine patients in control group (52 eyes) were treated with injecting vitamin B1, B12, taking vasodilatator agent and acupunture treatment. Fifty-eight patients in treatment group (60 eyes) were treated with direct acupuncture method combined with local acupuncture. These patients were followed up 1~6 months after 1~6 periods of treatment. The clinical effects were compared between these two groups.[Results] The 35 cases (36 eyes) were cured, and 3 cases (3 eyes) were efficacious, and 3 cases (3 eyes) were significant effective, and 8 cases (10 eyes) were ineffective, and the cured rate was 69.23% in the control group. The 51 cases (51 eyes) were cured, 4 cases (4 eyes) were efficacious, and 2 cases (3 eyes) were significant effective, 1 cases (2 eyes) were ineffective, and the cured rate was 85.00% in treatment group. Recurrence did not occur in the two groups during the follow-up survey from 1~6 months. There was a significant difference between the cured rates of two groups(χ2=7.359 5;P<0.01).[Conclusions] The effect of treatment group was quick, and period of treatment was short, the cured rate was high. The mechanism of direct acupuncture method may probably be promoting muscle shrinkage and recovering the action of nerves by stimulating muscle or relevant nervous ramification and exciting pathological paralysis of muscles.
