[Progress of treatment on oculomotor paralysis with electroacupuncture]

Collecting information from the database of China National Knowledge Information (CNKI) and VIP database of Chinese Journals, an overall analysis and review on treatment of oculomotor paralysis with electroacupuncture in recently years are made in the paper. The electroacupuncture, which can provide constant stimulation and reinforce the effect of acupuncture, is the major therapy to treat oculomotor paralysis. However, the best stimulate threshold of electroacupuncture on oculorotary muscles has not been reported yet. The parameters of electroacupuncture adopted in clinic are not standardized, which lead to unfavorable therapeutic effect as well as unclear mechanism of treatment. Therefore, it is suggested that the study should focus on enhancing the research level and broadening researcher's mind to explore the best parameter for the electroacupuncture stimulation on the oculorotary muscles, to make clear the mechanism of treatment and to search for valuable observation indicators in the future.
