One Case of traffic accident induced paralytic strabismus (oculomotor nerve palsy) which was treated with electroacupuncture at oculomotor muscles
외안근 전침요법을 이용한 교통사고 유발 마비성 사시 환자의 치험 1례
Abstract
Objectives : We already reported the effectiveness of this treatment method(electroacupuncture at oculomotor muscles) at the adult and young idiopathic paralytic strabismus patients and Miller-Fisher syndrome. Then I explored the possibility for improvement of the traumatic injury paralytic strabismus case. Methods : I treated the case by using the electroacupuncture at both paralytic lateral rectus muscle lesions. The case was treated almost daily and every treatment was enforced 10 minutes. I use the PG-306 electra-acupuncture products(Suzuki Iryoki Co. Japan) and apply the low consequence wave of 1-8Hz. Results : We gained good results from the case and not observed any sides effect or compliant. So I hope to apply this treatment for traumatic and post-operative nerve injury cases and am sure to make the treatment protocol for them in the future.
