Abstract

Objective To observe clinical effect of treating paralytic strabismus with self-designed Zhengrong decoction combined with acupuncture. Methods 42 patients with paralytic strabismus were randomly recruited into two groups. The control group was treated with vitamin B1 100 mg, vitamin B12 0.5 mg by intramuscular injection, energy mixture by intravenous drip, once daily. Ten days constituted a course and seven days served as a treating interval between two courses. The treatment group was treated with self-designed Zhengrong decoction combined with acupuncture based on the control group. The clinical effect was observed for both groups after the treatment. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 90.5% and 71.4% respectively. The clinical effect in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2=4.021, P＜0.05) . Conclusion Self-designed Zhengrong decoction combined with acupuncture was more effective on paralytic strabismus than western medicine.
