Research progress on intervention of pseudo‑myopia in children and adolescents using press needling
Myopia has become a global public health issue. In China, the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents shows a trend of early onset, rapid progression, and an increasing proportion of high myopia. Therefore, early intervention is key to the prevention and control of myopia. Pseudo-myopia is an early stage of myopia, and timely intervention can lead to reversibility. Press needling, a type of intradermal acupuncture, has shown certain clinical effectiveness in intervening pseudo-myopia in children and adolescents, with characteristics such as shallow insertion, minimal pain, and prolonged stimulation. We discuss the theoretical basis, mechanism of action, procedure, acupoint selection, and clinical effectiveness of press needling in treating pseudo-myopia in children and adolescents in this paper. We conclude that press needling is effective in treating pseudo-myopia in children and adolescents and can be combined with other external treatments in traditional Chinese medicine such as auricular point press balls, Tuina massage, and moxibustion. This provides new methods and ideas for treating pseudo-myopia in children and adolescents, which are worth clinical promotion and further research.
