Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The aim of this study is to review the methodology of clinical trials conducted with the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment on Dry eye syndrome.
Methods : Through four foreign online databases(PubMed, Cochrane library, EMBASE, CNKI) and two domestic online databases(NDSL, OASIS), we searched for clinical studies that performed moxibustion for dry eye syndrome from 2000 to December 2018. Only randomized controlled trials(RCT) were selected and anlyzed according to the research method.
Results : A total 12 studies were reviewed and conducted in China. BL1, ST2, BL2 were most frequently used acupoints in moxibustion treatment. Among the evaluation indexes, Schirmer I Test(SIT), Tear break-up time(BUT) were used most. In most of the 12 studies, moxibustion treatment showed significant therapeutic effects.
Conclusions : These results suggest that it is necessary to develop more detailed standards about moxibustion treatment method as the method of moxibustion is getting more diverse, and objective tools are needed in evaluating dry eye syndrome.
