A controlled clinical study on the effect of PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy for children amblyopia
Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy \〖a multimedia visual training system uses the individualized PVEP(pattern visual evoked potential)sensitive spatial frequency parameters\〗 in children with amblyopia by comparing the differences in visual acuity and stereo acuity enhancement between the PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy and traditional therapy. METHODS: A total of 38 children(54 eyes)with amblyopia who were treated in our hospital from April 2018 to January 2019 were randomly divided into two groups. Traditional therapy group(19 cases, 27 eyes; therapeutic methods contain refractive correction, patching/optical or drug suppress and precision eyesight training); PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group(19 cases, 27 eyes; therapeutic methods contain refractive correction, patching/optical or drug suppress and a multimedia visual training using the individualized P-VEP sensitive spatial frequency parameters). To study the clinic therapeutic effect, the best distance corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and near stereo acuity were measured at the enrollment visit and the final visit after 6mo treatment.RESULTS: After 6mo treatment, both groups had an apparent BCVA improvement(both therapy effective rate≥85%). PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group were significantly better than traditional therapy group in BCVA lines improvement \〖3(2, 3)lines\〗, near stereo acuity therapy effective rate(89%)and near stereo acuity level improvement \〖2(1, 4)levels\〗(all PP=0.018). In mild amblyopia cases, PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group showed a significantly better clinical efficacy in near stereo acuity(P=0.048)and greater improvement in near stereo acuity level(P=0.029). In moderate amblyopia cases,the BCVA lines improvement(P=0.003)was significantly greater in PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy group. CONCLUSION:Both PVEP-CD comprehensive and traditional therapy can improve the BCVA in children with amblyopia and have a good clinical efficacy. Furthermore, the PVEP-CD comprehensive therapy could improve the BCVA and near stereo acuity level more obviously and help amblyopic children get a better binocular vision.
