Abstract
Oculomotor palsy presents itself with sudden onset unilateral ptosis and inability to turn the eye upward, downward, or inward, which causes visual disturbances. We observed 5 cases of patient with oculomotor palsy, the results are as follows. Methods & Results : All patients were treated by the same method and treatment was performed by means of electroacupuncture(4Hz frequency, intensity was adjusted so that localized muscle contractions could be seen). The electrodes were placed unilaterally on BL2 to Kwangmyong(head) and GB14 to Ex-HN4. As the result, symptoms are improved remarkably. Conclusion : Patients were treated for 9.6weeks, 26.4 times(average). Improvement started after 6.6 times treatment, and symptoms were nearly cleared after 12.4 times, 4.6 weeks treatment.
