Laser Acupuncture in Open-Angle Glaucoma Treatment A Retrospective Study of Eye Blood Flow.
Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies 2018 December 7
Glaucoma patients can show blood flow anomalies at the eye vessels' level. A causal relationship is reasonably expected but, so far, it has not been demonstrated. Traditional Chinese medicine indicates that acupuncture can promote specific blood perfusion in specific body districts. Ninety-eight patients with open-angle glaucoma were treated with an ultralow light-level laser, according to a specific acupuncture protocol, and their blood flow was measured before and after a six-week treatment cycle. Doppler measurements showed significant modifications in both pulsatility and resistivity indexes. The most relevant outcome of this study is that the applied treatment demonstrated its effectiveness not only in vasodilation but, also, in the perfusion control that seems to restore appropriate functionality. The protocol can therefore be applied in this and perhaps in other blood perfusion-related pathologies.
