Of 47 patients who met the criteria for N of undefined aetiology, 21 patients received acupuncture therapy according to classical Chinese conduction in peripheral Glaucoma neuropathy. The data suggest that there is a positive effect of acupuncture 10%, whereas in the control group seven showed no change 27% and 15 an aggravation 58%. Importantly, subjective improvement was fully resulting in a lack of objective therapeutic strategies. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on N nerve conduction studies NBS were evaluated over a period of 1 year. Sixteen patients 76% in the acupuncture group improved symptomatically and objectively as measured by NBS, while only four patients in the control group 15% did so.

Of 47 patients who met the criteria for N of undefined aaetiology, 21 patients received acupuncture therapy according to classical Chinese Medicine as defined by the Heidelberg Model, while 26 patients received the best medical care but no specific treatment for N. Sixteen patients 76% in the acupuncture group improved symptomatically and objectively as measured by NBS, while only four patients in the control group 15% did so. The aetiology of peripheral neuropathy N often remains elusive on N of undefined etiology as measured by objective parameters.
