Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasonic atomization fumigation of traditional Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture in the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Methods: A total of 77 MGD patients (154 eyes) in Xinhua Hospital were selected and randomly divided into a control group (27 cases,54 eyes), a ultrasonic atomization of traditional Chinese medicine group (atomization group; 25 cases, 50 eyes),and a ultrasonic atomization of traditional Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture group (combined treatment group; 25 cases, 50 eyes). The control group received meibomian gland massage, the atomization group received meibomian gland massage and ultrasonic atomization of traditional Chinese medicine, and the combined treatment group received additional acupuncture treatment. The treatment period was 4 weeks. Tear breakup time (BUT), basal tear secretion test data (Schirmer I Test, SIT), corneal fluorescein staining score (FL), and Meibomian Gland Yielding Secretion Score (MGYSS), Eyelid Margin Abnormality Score (EMAS), Subjective Symptom Score (SSS) were collected and conduct clinical efficacy were evaluated. Results: There were no significant differences in BUT, SIT, FL, MGYSS, EMAS and SSS among the three groups (all P>0.05).After treatment of 4 weeks, the BUT, SIT, FL, MGYSS, EMAS and SSS in each group were improved significantly compared to baseline (P<0.05). The above indicators in combined treatment group were significantly different from atomization group (P<0.05) and control group (P<0.05). The total effective rates after treatment were 51.85% (28/54) in control group, 84% (42/50) in atomization group, and 96% (48/50) in combined treatment group. The difference in total effective rate between combined treatment group and atomization group was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasonic atomization of traditional Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture presents good clinical effects in improving the meibomian gland function of patients with MGD and alleviating the dry eye symptoms.
