Effect of Mingmu nourishing cream on asthenopia
Abstract
Purpose: To assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Mingmu nourishing cream in asthenopia.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 124 patients who were treated for asthenopia in the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China from January 2015 to January 2018. Patients were divided into control group (n = 63; received conventional eye drops) and study group (n = 61; received Mingmu nourishing cream in addition to control group treatment). The ocular symptom scores and tear secretion test (Schirmer's I test (SIT)) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Furthermore, the clinical efficacy of Mingmu nourishing cream in the treatment of asthenopia was evaluated.
Results: The differences in SIT, conjunctival congestion classification and ocular symptoms between the two groups after treatment were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Moreover, the rate of total therapeutic efficacy in the study group was 86.9 % (53/61), which was significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Mingmu nourishing cream significantly improves symptoms and exhibits favourable tolerability profile. Multi-center large sample study is needed for further verifications of the findings of this study.
