Clinical Experience of Acupuncture in Treating Oculomotor Nerve Palsy
It is believed that the pathogenesis of oculomotor nerve palsy is insufficient
marrow sea
(髓海), withered
yang qi
, poor contraction of eyelids and periocular meridians, and inability to open and close the eyes. The eye system is connected to the
marrow sea
, as well as the the foot
taiyang
(太阳) channel, foot
yangming
(阳明) channel, foot
jueyin
(厥阴) channel,
yinqiao mai
(阴跷脉) and
yangqiao mai
(阳跷脉), and is nourished by the liver, spleen and kidney. Treatment should take into account both the branch and the root cause. It is suggested to treat the root by regulating the
marrow sea
, and treat the branch by unblocking the meridians and dredging the collaterals, thereby balancing the mild and the urge
ncy of the
yinqiao mai
and
yangqiao mai
. Using the "Gen (根)-Liu(溜)-Zhu (注)-Ru (入)"acupoints to bypass the various meridians and taking the gallbladder meridian according to twelve major meridians that run on both sides of the body, both of which can provide ideas for improving symptoms such as ptosis and limited eye movement caused by oculomotor nerve palsy.
