Positive Effects of Acupuncture Benefiting Individuals with Flammer Syndrome and Patients with Associated Pathologies

Abstract

Accupuncture has been effectively used to improve systemic blood flow and ocular blood flow. Subjects with Flammer syndrome have insufficient and unstable blood flow autoregulation. As many patients with ophthalmic diseases suffer simultaneously altered systemic and ocular blood flow, but also Flammer syndrome, accupuncture seems to be a promissing minimally invasive therapeutic approach. This review represents our acupuncture-experince on individuals suffering Flammer syndrome and associated pathologies.
