ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of hair needle therapy in treating dry eye syndrome (DES).Method Eighty patients diagnosed with DES were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by 0.1% Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops plus Hair needle therapy; the control group was by 0.1%Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops alone. The subjects were re-examined after 1-month treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by observing the subjective symptoms, SchirmerⅠtest (SIT), tear break-up time (BUT), and fluorescein test (FL).Result The subjective symptoms, SIT, BUT, and FL scores were significantly improved after intervention in the treatment group (P0.05); after treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the subjective symptoms, SIT, BUT, and FL scores between the two groups (P<0.01).ConclusionHair needle therapy plus Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops can produce a more significant efficacy than Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops alone in treating DES.
