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.
