Xinjiang Medical University hospital researchers tested the efficacy of combining acupuncture and moxibustion with drug therapy. The addition of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies increased positive patient outcomes by 45% for patients with diabetic oculomotor paralysis.
The researchers tested a protocol of drug therapy in combination with acupuncture and moxibustion in a controlled clinical trial. Drug therapy, as a standalone treatment, produced a 45% total effective rate. Adding acupuncture and moxibustion to the treatment regimen increased the total effective rate to 90%.
