Design: A randomized, single-blinded sampling and quasi-experimental design. Setting: The study included the patients from North of Taipei Ophthalmology outpatient department. Subjects: Eighty-two participants were randomly and evenly assigned to groups wherein the TENS electrodes were either applied with or not applied with electrical currents on the acupoints BL61 and BL62 for 20 minutes. Intervention: With electrical stimulation to compare their pretest and posttest IOP. Measures: IOP was measured before and after, thirty minutes after, and sixty minutes after the TENS electrodes were applied on the acupoints. Analysis: Analysis of descriptive statistics of participants including age and sex. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent sample test analyzed IOP changes and TENS result. Results: Eighty-two participants completed the experiment. There was a greater decline in IOP when TENS electrodes were applied with current (p < 0.01) than using TENS electrodes with no current applied on the acupoints, and the results were not affected by the age of the patients and their usage of medications. Conclusions: Applying TENS on acupoints can effectively reduce the IOP of patients with glaucoma. Liu,Chi- Feng 劉吉豐 2015 學位論文 ; thesis 66 zh-TW
