[Objectives] To explore the clinical efficacy of Wumen acupuncture in the adjuvant treatment of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). [Methods] From June 2023 to April 2024, 40 NAION patients were randomly divided into treatment group (Wumen acupuncture method+methylprednisolone sodium succinate+compound Danshen dripping pills orally) and control group (methylprednisolone sodium succinate+compound Danshen dripping pills orally). The clinical symptoms such as fundus condition and visual field were compared between the two groups before treatment, after 2 courses of treatment and 6 months after the first diagnosis. [Results] (i) After 2 courses of treatment, the patients with optic disc edema in the treatment group were more than those in the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). The number of patients with retinal hemorrhage in the treatment group was less than that in the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). The color of the optic nerve in the treatment group was less than that in the control group, and the difference was not significant (P>0.05). (ii) Six months after the first diagnosis, the improvement of fundus in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After 2 courses of treatment and 6 months after the first diagnosis, the visual evoked potential was significantly improved compared with the control group (P<0.05). After 2 courses of treatment and 6 months from the first diagnosis, the number of lines of visual acuity improvement in the treatment group was greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). After 2 courses of treatment and 6 months from the first diagnosis, the average visual field defect in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). [Conclusions] Wumen acupuncture method can significantly improve the symptoms of patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, which is worthy of clinical promotion. |
