Laser Acupuncture in Open-Angle Glaucoma Treatment: A Retrospective Study of Eye Blood Flow
Marzio Vanzini,Michele Gallamini 사단법인약침학회 2020 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.13 No.2
Patients with glaucoma can show blood flow anomalies at the eye vessel 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 lightelevel 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 perfusioncontrol that seems to restore appropriate functionality. The protocol therefore should be investigated in future controlled studies and perhaps in other blood perfusion-related pathologies.
Amblyopia: Can Laser Acupuncture be an Option?
Marzio Vanzini,Michele Gallamini 사단법인약침학회 2016 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.9 No.5
This paper describes the results of the treatment of amblyopia in young patients using an unconventional laser-acupuncture technique. After obtaining satisfactory results in the treatment of a 14-year-old amblyopic girl, the treatment was applied to 13 amblyopic children aged 3–11 years, with an encouraging outcome. An ultralow-light-intensity laser with a square-wave modulated emission was applied over a sequence of acupuncture points. Each session lasted < 15 minutes, and the treatment was performed once a week in 6-week cycles. Patients were followed for several years to evaluate the long-term results and/or to extend the treatment. All except two of the treated patients showed a rapid increase in visual acuity after several treatment sessions. Some required retreatment for regressions in visual acuity. The need for medium-term treatment cycles seems, however, to suggest that results may not be stable for all individuals. Although acupuncture has already been proved to be effective in the treatment of amblyopia, the results reported in this paper suggest that laser acupuncture at ultra-low-light-intensity levels can provide similar, if not better, results to conventional acupuncture stimulation, but with higher patient compliance.
