title: [Observation on therapeutic effect of auricular point sticking combined with Tongshiji treatment on child ametropic amblyopia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare therapeutic effects of auricular point sticking combined with Tongshiji treatment and simple Tongshiji treatment on child ametropic amblyopia.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three hundred children of ametropic amblyopia were classified as mild, moderate and severe groups, 100 cases in each group. The each group was again randomly divided into a simple Tongshiji treatment (control group) and a auricular point sticking combined with Tongshiji treatment group (observation group). Their therapeutic effects were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate in the observation group were 100.0%, 79.8% and 71.0%, and in the control group were 100.0%, 54.3% and 48.2% respectivety for mild, moderate and severe groups. For the mild amblyopia children, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the therapeutic effect; for the moderate and severe ametropic amblyopia children, the therapeutic effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Auricular point sticking combined with Tongshiji treatment for child ametropic amblyopia is of characteristics of convenient manipulation, obvious and rapid therapeutic effect.
