Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Jul 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this clinical trial is to implement acupressure twice daily and monitor the changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with different levels of glaucoma. The study aims to investigate the effects of this method on IOP, visual field, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measured by optical coherence tomography, blood vessel density, and macular ganglion cell layer thickness and density in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
