The effect of therapeutic ultrasound was evaluated in 17 patients with therapy-resistant glaucoma by comparing average intraocular pressure (IOP) curves measured before and 3-4 months after insonification. The insonification regimen was standardized; the medication was identical during both pressure curve measurements. The average IOP decrease was 44% +/- 24 SD (range, 73% decrease to 6% increase). In 82% of the patients the IOP decrease was more than 34%. There was no correlation between the percentage of IOP decrease and the average IOP before insonification (correlation coefficient, 0.21; P = 0.41).
通过比较17例难治性青光眼患者超声治疗前及治疗后3 - 4个月测量的平均眼压(IOP)曲线,评估了治疗性超声的效果。超声治疗方案标准化;在两次眼压曲线测量期间所用药物相同。平均眼压降低44%±24标准差(范围为降低73%至升高6%)。82%的患者眼压降低超过34%。眼压降低百分比与超声治疗前的平均眼压之间无相关性(相关系数为0.21;P = 0.41)。
