针灸治疗干眼症的临床研究进展

Clinical Research Progress in Acupuncture Treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome

摘要: 随着电子产品的广泛使用，干眼症在临床发病率逐年增加，严重影响患者生理和心理健康。由于干眼症的发病机制复杂，临床多仅进行使用滴眼液的对症治疗而无针对疾病的根本治疗，而针刺治疗眼科疾病具有独特优势，本文从针灸治疗干眼的临床研究进展进行综述，发现临床上针刺治疗干眼的手段多样，如揿针，火针，杵针等，且相比常规滴眼液针刺可取得更优疗效。但目前临床研究数量不充足，质量不高，证据等级有限。未来期待更高质量的临床研究。

Abstract: With the widespread use of electronic devices, the clinical incidence of dry eye syndrome (DES) has been increasing annually, significantly impairing patients’ physical and mental health. Due to the complex pathogenesis of DES, current clinical management is often limited to symptomatic relief with artificial tears, lacking disease-modifying therapies. Acupuncture, however, offers unique advantages in treating ophthalmic disorders. This review summarizes advances in clinical research on acupuncture for DES, highlighting its diverse therapeutic approaches—such as press needles (Qin needles), fire needles (Huozhen), and pestle needles (Chuzhen)—and demonstrating superior efficacy compared to conventional eye drops. Nevertheless, existing studies remain insufficient in quantity, limited in methodological quality, and constrained by low evidence levels. Higher-quality clinical trials are warranted in the future.
