Sponsor's own description
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the therapeutic effect of acupuncture at the Jingming and the Qiuhou acupoints on the visual acuity and visual field in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Participants will get acupuncture or Wangbuliu Xingzi Paste (sham acupuncture) on both sides of the Jingming and the Qiuhou, once a week, once for 20 minutes, for 24 weeks. Researchers will compare acupuncture group and sham acupuncture group to see if the visual acuity, visual field, intraocular pressure, optic nerve fiber layer thickness, serum homocysteine concentration, and scores on the WHOQOL-REF (Taiwan version) scale would be improved.
