Efficacy and safety of acupuncture in slowing visual field loss in normal-tension glaucoma: A 24-week randomized controlled trial

This is the first clinical trial to demonstrate that long-term acupuncture may effectively preserve both structural and functional visual parameters in patients with NTG, suggesting a potential neuroprotective effect of acupuncture and supporting its role as a promising adjunctive therapy. Further validation is warranted with larger, double-blind, multicenter trials.
