Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of electric nape acupuncture combined with local acupuncture on central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Methods A total of 40 cases (eyes) of CRAO patients admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine from February 2018 to November 2020 were divided into control group and treatment group by random number table method, with 20 cases (eyes) in each group. The control group was given oral medicine, local acupuncture, symptomatic basic treatment; The treatment group was combined with electric nape acupuncture therapy on the basis of the control group, and the two groups were treated for eight weeks. The visual acuity, visual field and blood flow of the central retinal artery were evaluated before and eight weeks after treatment in both groups. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the best corrected visual acuity between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the best corrected visual acuity in the two groups was higher than before treatment, and the treatment group was higher than the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in visual field defect between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the visual field defect in the two groups was lower than before treatment, and the treatment group was lower than the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in peak systolic flow velocity and end-diastolic flow velocity between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the peak systolic flow velocity and end-diastolic flow velocity in the two groups were higher than before treatment, and the treatment group was higher than the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion Electric nape acupuncture combined with local acupuncture can improve the visual acuity of patients with CRAO.
