Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint stimulation therapy, in particular to an acupoint stimulation therapy for improving vision, which dredges meridians and harmonizes qi and blood through standardized manipulation to achieve the purposes of relieving visual fatigue, improving refractive function and restoring vision. The method combines the classical theory of "Twelve Meridians Qi and Blood Annotating on the Eyes" in "Lingshuo Xieqi Zangfu Bingxing Pian" and the research results of modern medicine on acupoint stimulation to improve ocular microcirculation. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint stimulation therapy, although the existing vision conditioning technology has certain clinical application, it has systematic defects, which seriously restricts the stability and safety of the curative effect. Through literature retrieval and clinical observation, the specific problems are as follows:

[0003] Insufficient precision of acupoint selection: traditional methods mostly rely on "bone degree and inch method" or "finger and body inch" experience positioning. For example, Jingming acupoint is often positioned deviated due to the difference in eye fat pad thickness, and Chengqi acupoint is prone to point offset due to different lower eyelid laxity. Studies have shown that when the acupoint positioning error exceeds 3mm, the curative effect decreases significantly, and may cause local tissue damage.

[0004] Non-quantitative stimulation parameters: there is a lack of scientific grading standard for adult and child stimulation. Adults need to "get qi" feeling (acid, swelling, numbness), while children have delicate skin and excessive force can easily cause subcutaneous ecchymosis; parameters such as vibration frequency, depth of pressing time have no clear specifications, such as some methods use "heart shock" mode, the frequency fluctuates between 2-8 times per second, and the penetration depth varies from 1mm to 5mm under the skin, resulting in a high fluctuation rate of curative effect of up to 40%.

[0005] Non-standardized operation process: the existing technology mostly uses "point pressing-kneading-gua sha" compound method, but there is no unified standard for the time allocation and sequence logic of each step. For example, the number of alternating point pressing of Yintang acupoint and Shenting acupoint in the opening acupoint step varies from 10 times to 50 times due to the difference in experience of physiotherapists, affecting the efficiency of meridian conduction.

[0006] Synergistic effect is not systematized: the synergistic stimulation mechanism of local acupoints around the eyes (such as Yangbai and Cuanzhu) and distal meridians (such as Taichong and Guangming) lacks theoretical support. Traditional theory only emphasizes "local acupoint selection", without combining the holistic view of "Twelve Meridians Qi and Blood Annotating on the Eyes" in "Lingshuo Xieqi Zangfu Bingxing Pian", resulting in "headache treatment" conditioning, which cannot achieve the synergistic regulation of "liver opening to the eyes" and "kidney storing essence".

[0007] Modern medical research has further revealed that acupoint stimulation plays a role through the "neuroendocrine-immune" network. For example, stimulating Guangming acupoint can activate optic nerve repair-related gene expression and promote retinal microcirculation; stimulating Taichong acupoint can regulate liver meridian qi and blood and improve eye muscle tension. However, the existing technology does not deeply integrate these research results with the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine to form a standardized scheme of "theory-parameter-process" trinity.

[0008] In summary, the existing vision conditioning technology lacks precision in selecting acupoints, quantization of stimulation parameters, standardization of operation processes, and systematization of synergistic effects, resulting in large fluctuations in therapeutic effects and high safety risks. The present application proposes a vision improvement method based on eye-peripheral-whole-body meridian-acupoint synergistic stimulation, which selects 24 key acupoints, quantizes vibration frequency and intensity levels, standardizes operation processes, and combines the meridian theory of Lingshu and modern medical research results to achieve the purposes of relieving visual fatigue, improving refractive function, and restoring vision. SUMMARY

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an acupoint stimulation therapy for improving vision.

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is solved by the following technical solution:

[0011] The present application provides an acupoint stimulation therapy for improving vision, which adopts the following technical process:

[0012] Step one: acupoint combination scheme: select 24 key acupoints on the head, face, and limbs, including: head: Baihui, Weiming;

[0013] Face: Yangbai, Indentation, Cuanzhu, Yuyao, Siluzhongkong, Taiyang, Jingming, Mushu, Qubou, Chengqi, Sibai, Juliao;

[0014] Upper limbs: Quchi, Waiguan, Yanglao, Hegu, Fengyan, Mingyan, Daguankong, Houxil;

[0015] Lower limbs: Zusanli, Guangming, Sanyinjiao, Taichong, Yongquan.

[0016] Step two: vibration mode: use "Qidandantian" to generate force, the large arm drives the small arm and fingers to realize up and down vibration, the frequency is controlled at 3-5 times / second, and the penetration force needs to reach 2-3 mm under the skin;

[0017] Deep pressing: after single acupoint vibration for 80 times, continue pressing for 10 seconds, the intensity follows the principle of "from light to heavy", the initial intensity of adults is appropriate with the finger abdomen slightly sunken, and children reduce by 30%;

[0018] Special acupoint processing: Jingming acupoint is pressed with the tip of the index finger to prevent slipping, and the Taiyang acupoint is pressed with the thumbs in a "one character" shape, and the intensity does not exceed the patient's tolerance threshold.

[0019] Step three: Operation flow: Preparation stage (5 minutes): The physiotherapist disinfects his hands and wears a mask, and the customer lies down and uses a squeezed wet wipe to clean the face;

[0020] Opening the hole step (10 minutes): Indentation-God Temple alternating point press 30 times, the last depth press 10 seconds; Zhu - fish waist - silk bamboo empty three holes a group of point press 30 times, the last silk bamboo empty depth press 10 seconds;

[0021] Acupoint operation (20 minutes): Each acupoint is operated in the mode of "vibration 80 times + deep pressing 10 seconds", such as Baihui acupoint needs to be pressed vertically in the concave part of the midpoint of the ear tip line, and Chengqi acupoint needs to be pulled up the lower eyelid and then pressed obliquely downward;

[0022] Auxiliary step (5 minutes): After rubbing the ears and face, the gel is applied from Yangbai to Joliao and covered with plastic wrap, and the plastic wrap is removed after 20 minutes.

[0023] The present application has the beneficial effects:

[0024] 1、The present application constructs a "local-remote-viscera" three-level linkage mechanism through the synergistic stimulation of local acupoints around the eye and distal meridian acupoints, achieving synergistic effect of vision improvement:

[0025] The local acupoints around the eye (such as Yangbai and Zhu) directly act on the orbital nerve endings and orbicularis oculi muscle, activate the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve through high-frequency vibration (3-5 times / s), quickly relieve ciliary muscle spasm and extraocular muscle fatigue, and immediately improve blurred vision, eye swelling and other visual fatigue symptoms;

[0026] The distal meridian acupoints (such as Dachang and Sanyinjiao) are based on the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "liver opening the eye" and "kidney storing essence", stimulate the liver and kidney meridian original points through deep pressing, regulate the function of liver blood nourishing the eye and kidney essence ascending to the pupil, and improve the refractive function from the root;

[0027] The key synergistic acupoint (such as Guangming acupoint) is the collateral acupoint of the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, penetrates subcutaneously 2-3mm to reach the infraorbital nerve plexus through quantitative vibration, activates the expression of optic nerve repair related genes, promotes retinal microcirculation, and realizes the structural repair of true myopia.

[0028] The three form a closed loop through the "neuroendocrine-immune" network: the immediate stimulation of the acupoints around the eye triggers a nerve reflex, quickly relieves symptoms; the viscera regulation of the distal acupoints optimizes blood supply, consolidates the effect; the targeted repair of the synergistic acupoint promotes tissue regeneration, and realizes "treatment of both symptoms and root causes". This "trinity" synergistic stimulation mode improves the stability of the effect, reduces the safety risk, especially increases the reversal rate of adolescent pseudomyopia, slows down the growth of true myopia, and truly realizes the new path of vision improvement from "treating the head" to "overall regulation".

[0029] 2. Standardized operation improves treatment efficacy stability: Quantify vibration frequency, intensity grading, and other parameters to avoid fluctuations in treatment efficacy due to experience differences in traditional methods;

[0030] 3. Significant improvement in safety factor: Children and adults have intensity grading, and special acupoint anti-slip design (such as the Jingming acupoint) to reduce the risk of local damage;

[0031] 4. Equal emphasis on immediate and long-term efficacy: Immediate problems such as visual fatigue are quickly relieved through neural reflex, and true myopia requires treatment accumulation to promote structural repair. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] To make the technical means, creative features, and purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the following further describes the present application in conjunction with specific examples and comparative examples.

[0033] I. Adult operation example

[0034] Accurate acupoint positioning: Use the bone degree and inch method combined with modern anatomical positioning, such as Jingming acupoint positioning, first take the inner canthus angle 0.1 inch as the reference, and dynamically adjust according to the eye fat pad thickness to ensure that the penetration depth reaches 2-3 mm subcutaneously.

[0035] Vibration parameter quantification: The vibration frequency of adults is strictly controlled at 3-5 times per second, and the penetration force is achieved by "qi sinking into the dantian", such as the Baihui acupoint operation, the large arm drives the small arm to press vertically, the frequency is 4 times per second, and the intensity is based on the patient's self-reported "soreness and swelling".

[0036] Process standardization: Single acupoint operation follows the "vibration 80 times + deep pressing 10 seconds" mode, such as Chengqi acupoint, which needs to be pulled upward first to prevent compression of the eyeball, and then forced obliquely downward to 3 mm subcutaneously. The total duration is 40 minutes, of which 10 minutes is for acupoint opening (Yintang-God Temple alternating point pressing 30 times), 20 minutes is for acupoint operation, and 5 minutes is for auxiliary steps (gel + preservative film).

[0037] Synergistic effect: Synchronous stimulation of distal meridian points such as Taichong acupoint (original acupoint of liver meridian) and Zanzhu acupoint around the eye can regulate liver meridian qi and blood through the theory of "liver opening the orifices of the eyes" to improve muscle tension around the eyes; stimulation of Guangming acupoint (collateral acupoint of gallbladder meridian) can activate optic nerve repair genes and promote retinal microcirculation.

[0038] II. Children's operation example

[0039] Intensity grading system: Children's intensity is reduced by 30% compared to adults, and sensitive acupoints such as Zanzhu and Yuyao use "divided vibration" method (20 times / group, a total of 4 groups), and the intensity is based on "finger pulp slightly sunken without redness". Jingming acupoint uses "withdrawable" intensity control, and the pressure can be adjusted at any time to avoid damage.

[0040] Safety precautions: nail trimming to the same level, disinfecting fingers with alcohol cotton before operation; using double thumbs to press the temple in a "horizontal" manner, the force should not exceed the patient's tolerance threshold, to avoid subcutaneous ecchymosis.

[0041] Time optimization management: the total duration is shortened to 30 minutes, the opening hole step is reduced to 20 times of alternating point pressing, and the auxiliary step gel covering time is shortened to 15 minutes.

[0042] Visceral coordination: stimulation of Sanyinjiao points (spleen meridian combination points) can supplement kidney essence, and coordination with the eye white around the eye can achieve the visceral regulation of "kidney storing essence" to improve vision from the root.

[0043] III. Comparative examples

[0044] Defects of traditional methods: the deviation rate of traditional non-standardized acupoint selection is as high as 20%, such as when the positioning error of the Jingming point exceeds 3mm, the efficacy decreases by 40%; the stimulation parameters are not quantified, the vibration frequency fluctuates between 2-8 times / second, and the penetration depth is 1-5mm, resulting in a 40% fluctuation rate of efficacy.

[0045] Comparison of efficacy data: the effective rate of traditional methods is only 60%, and there is a 10% risk of local damage; the effective rate of the standardized scheme of the present application is increased to 90%, there is no report of local damage, the remission time of visual fatigue is shortened to 30 minutes after single treatment, and the visual acuity is improved by 0.2-0.5 (measured by standard logarithmic visual acuity chart) after the accumulation of true myopia treatment.

[0046] The data comparison table of the above three examples is as follows:

[0047]

[0048]

[0049] The comparison table quantitatively reveals the significant advantages of the standardized acupoint stimulation therapy of the present application compared with the traditional method, and the specific analysis is as follows:

[0050] 1. Improvement of efficacy stability and safety

[0051] Efficiency breakthrough: the effective rate of adult examples is 90%, and the effective rate of children is 85%, which is much higher than the 60% of traditional methods. This is due to precise acupoint positioning (such as dynamic adjustment of Jingming points combined with eye fat pads), quantified stimulation parameters (vibration frequency 3-5 times / second, depth pressing 10 seconds / acupoint), and process standardization (such as "vibration 80 times + pressing" mode), which avoids the efficacy fluctuation (fluctuation rate 40%) and local damage risk (traditional method 10% damage rate, no damage report in the present application) caused by experience difference of traditional methods.

[0052] Safety grading design: Children's intensity is reduced by 30% and adopts "fractional vibration" method, combined with nail trimming, anti-slip design (such as Jingming acupoint "withdrawable" pressure control), which significantly reduces the risk of subcutaneous ecchymosis, and embodies the safety concept of "treatment according to individual conditions".

[0053] 2. Synergistic effect and theoretical integration advantage

[0054] Eye-whole body meridian and acupoint synergy: The invention integrates the "Twelve Meridians Qi and Blood Up to the Eyes" theory of "Lingshu" and modern medical research, through the synergistic stimulation of local acupoints around the eye (such as Zanzhu and Yangbai) and distal meridian acupoints (such as Dachang and Sanyinjiao), achieving "both local and systemic treatment". For example, Dachang acupoint stimulation regulates liver meridian qi and blood to improve eye muscle tension, and Guangming acupoint activation of optic nerve repair genes promotes retinal microcirculation, while traditional methods rely only on local acupoint selection, lacking coordination of zang-fu organs.

[0055] Instant and long-term efficacy: The relief time of visual fatigue is shortened to 30 minutes for adults and 45 minutes for children, which is much better than the traditional method of 2-4 hours; after the accumulation of true myopia treatment, the vision is improved by 0.2-0.5 (adults) and 0.1-0.3 (children), which verifies the long-term effect of structural repair.

[0056] 3. Process standardization and time efficiency optimization

[0057] Total time control: The treatment time is controlled at 40 minutes for adults and 30 minutes for children, through strict time allocation of opening acupoints, acupoint operation and auxiliary steps (such as 25% for opening acupoints and 50% for acupoint operation), achieving efficient treatment. The traditional method is non-standardized in process (such as 10-50 times of opening acupoints), with total time fluctuating between 40-60 minutes, which is low in efficiency.

[0058] Operation logic unification: Standardization of single acupoint "vibration-pressing" mode, special acupoint processing (such as lifting the lower eyelid to prevent compression of the eyeball at Chengqi acupoint) and auxiliary steps (gel + preservative film) ensures the efficiency of meridian transmission and avoids the limitations of traditional methods.

[0059] 4. Data support of innovative value

[0060] The table data directly confirms the scientificity of the "theory-parameter-process" trinity design of the invention: quantitative vibration frequency, intensity grading, depth pressing time and other parameters, combined with the meridian theory of "Lingshu" and modern medical research results, not only improve the stability of treatment effect, but also reduce the safety risk, realizing the deep integration of traditional Chinese medicine therapy and modern scientific standards.

[0061] To sum up, the application realizes the triple breakthrough of curative effect, safety and efficiency in the field of vision improvement through standardized, quantified and collaborative innovative design, and provides a demonstrative scheme for the modernization and scientization development of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint stimulation therapy.

[0062] The basic principles and main features of the application and the advantages of the application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, various changes and improvements can be made to the application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed application. The scope of protection of the application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
