  • Oculomotor Nerve Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

ocular electroacupuncture

During intervention period, patients will continue to keep medications for primary condition. Patient's skin located in the extraocular muscles projection area is routinely disinfected. A diameter of 0.20 mm and length of 25 mm needle is inserted slowly. Piercing depth is about 20mm. The electropuncture apparatus is used, each group of electrodes are distinguished with different colors of wires to generate current stimulations of current 1.0\~1.5 milliampere (mA), voltage 9 volt(V), frequency 1.5 hertz (Hz), and duration of 40 minutes.
