“…In addition to pseudomyopia, auricular acupuncture with eye exercises for refractive errors and other eye disorders is also very effective [ 17 ]. Chinese medical theory suggests that it can regulate eye meridian qi, improve blood circulation in the eye, and relieve ciliary muscle spasm to improve visual acuity [ 12 ].…”

Objective. To assess the clinical efficacy of auricular acupressure plus eye exercises in the treatment of adolescent pseudomyopia, to discover an easier and safer way to treat pseudomyopia. Methods. Forty adolescent patients with pseudomyopia were randomly recruited and assigned (1 : 1) to receive either eye exercises (single group, including 11 males and 9 females) or auricular acupressure plus eye exercises (combined group, including 12 males and 8 females). The clinical endpoint was the clinical efficacy after 28 days of treatment. Results. The baseline characteristics of the combined group were comparable with those of the single group ( P > 0.05 ). Auricular acupressure plus eye exercises was associated with a significantly higher clinical efficacy versus eye exercises alone ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Ear acupressure plus eye exercises features promising clinical efficacy in the treatment of adolescent pseudomyopia, effectively arresting the progression of pseudomyopia to true myopia.

“…Obesity is often accompanied by lipoprotein atherogenicity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (41), thus when controlling and treating obesity, TCE can reduce these indicators at the same time.

BackgroundObesity is considered one of the biggest public health problems, especially in the background of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. It is urgent to find interventions to control and improve it. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the effect of traditional Chinese exercise on obesity.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and WanFang database for updated articles published from the inception of each database to June 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on traditional Chinese exercise in weight reduction were included, and related data were extracted. The random-effects model was used to adjust for the heterogeneity of the included studies, and funnel plots were used to examine publication bias.ResultsA total of 701 participants were included in the 10 studies. Compared with the control group, the outcome of body weight [mean difference (MD) = −6.10; 95% CI = -8.79, -3.42], body mass index (MD = −2.03; 95% CI = -2.66, -1.41), body fat mass (MD = −3.12; 95% CI = -4.49, -1.75), waist circumference (MD = −3.46; 95% CI = -4.67, -2.24), hip circumference (MD = −2.94; 95% CI = -4.75, -1.30), and waist-to-hip ratio (MD = −0.04; 95% CI = -0.06, -0.03) in the intervention group had significant differences. Egger’s test and funnel plots showed that the potential publication bias of the included studies was slight (p = 0.249).ConclusionTraditional Chinese exercise is an effective treatment for obesity; people under the COVID-19 lockdown could do these exercises to control weight. However, a precise and comprehensive conclusion calls for RCTs on a larger scale with more rigorous designs considering the inferior methodological quality and limited retrieved articles.Systematic review registrationwww.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42021270015.

Background: Myopia is increasing in prevalence and developing at a younger age, a trend exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To combat the epidemic of myopia, eye exercises have been promoted in recent national efforts in mainland China, continuing a compulsory national school policy for over 50 years. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of eye exercises in preventing and controlling myopia. Methods: In this systemic review and meta-analysis, we searched nine major Chinese and English databases from their inception to December 15, 2022. We included studies that compared the effects of eye-exercise interventions with controls (no eye exercises) on at least one myopia-related indicator. Studies could be either randomized or non-randomized controlled trials. Two coders independently screened records for eligibility; extracted study-level data (study information, sample sizes, interventions, and myopia indicators); and assessed the risk of bias (Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0) and study heterogeneity. Using random-effect models and sensitivity analysis, we estimated the effects of eye exercises compared to control on changes in visual acuity, diopter, and curative effects (axial length was not reported). We used standardized mean differences (SMDs) to evaluate visual acuity and diopter outcomes, and risk ratios (RRs) to assess curative effects. This study is registered on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/dr5jk). Findings: Of the 1765 records identified, 1754 were excluded: 423 were duplicates, 1223 did not have a control group, 16 did not have full-text, and 92 did not fulfill other inclusion criteria. In total, 11 studies were included in the meta-analysis, with 921 participants (399 in eye-exercise interventions and 522 in control groups). Nine studies had some concerns of bias in at least two domains, and two studies had a high risk of bias in two domains. Seven studies used visual acuity to measure myopia; visual acuity declined after eye-exercise interventions (SMD=-0.67, 95% CI -1.28 to -0.07, Z=2.17, p=0.03) and the effect was not better than control (SMD=-0.50, 95% CI -1.16 to 0.16, Z=1.49, p=0.14). Two studies used diopter to measure myopia; the effect of eye-exercise interventions did not differ from control (SMD=-1.74, 95% CI -6.27 to 2.79, Z=0.75, p=0.45). Seven studies reported curative effects; eye exercises had a higher curative effect than control (RR=0.40, 95% CI 0.23-0.71, Z=3.13, p<0.01). Interpretation: Eye exercises are not effective in preventing or controlling the progression of myopia, as measured by changes in visual acuity and diopter. A small positive effect is observed in curative effects, but the studies have high heterogeneity and potential publication bias, with major weaknesses in design (inadequate measures, small sample sizes, biases, failure to consider side effects, and failure to include established effective interventions as control). There is little evidence to support the continued use of eye exercises to manage myopia in schoolchildren.
