[The combined treatment of amblyopia by the methods of acupuncture reflexotherapy and traditional pleoptics].

Fifty-two children (75 eyes with amblyopia) were treated by acupuncture and traditional pleoptics. This complex of treatment was found more effective as against traditional pleoptics alone (70 children, 118 eyes with amblyopia) on the whole and in the treatment of high amblyopia. The best results were attained in children previously treated by pleoptic methods with special equipment (older children). Of the 17 eyes with amblyopia resistant to common treatment multiple-modality treatment resulted in improvement in 10 (58.8%). The effect of treatment persisted for 3 months. The first course of such treatment proved to be the most effective in the treatment of high amblyopia; starting from the second course the condition grew resistant to such treatment, this resistance gradually augmenting.

[Eclecticism in medicine].

Last years saw a series of publications published in different medical editions, concerning an application sphere of physiotherapy. These publications cast doubt on reflexotherapy as an independent medical discipline. New term physiopuncture was proposed in such publications, actually it is a try terminologically and in practice to substitute acupuncture and its methods (i.e. reflexotherapy) by an other medical specialty physiotherapy. The article does not call physiotherapy in question as a specialty itself, but conclude, that such forcible attribution of the reflexotherapy's methods to physiotherapy's is not acceptable. All physical influences on the acupuncture's points (laserpuncture, electropuncture, shortwave frequency puncture and others) even that being used barely through metameric principle in accordance with WHO recommendations should be referred to the sphere of reflexotherapy.
