Abstract

This retrospective study investigated the effect of auricular acupressure combined with acupuncture for juvenile pseudomyopia (JPM). In this retrospective study, we collected and analyzed a total of 66 eligible records of subjects with JPM. They were allocated into a treatment group (n = 33) and a control group (n = 33). All participants in both groups received auricular acupressure. Additionally, children in the treatment group also underwent acupuncture. The primary outcome was naked visual acuity (VA). It was performed using a standard E visual acuity chart. The secondary outcome was visual fatigue symptoms, as assessed by the College of Optometrists in Vision Development Quality of Life (COVD-QoL) questionnaire. All outcomes were analyzed before and after treatment. There were no significant differences regarding the naked VA and COVD-QoL scores before and after treatment between the 2 groups. However, there were significant differences regarding on naked VA (P < .01) and COVD-QoL scores (P < .01) within 2 groups compared before and after treatment. The findings of this study showed that both APP plus acupuncture and APP alone benefit children with JPM.
