Biofeedback training (BT) was adapted to idiopathic infantile nystagmus syndrome (IINS) cases to enhance visual functions and quality of life (QoL).
10 patients (age 9 ± 3.2 years) treated with the audio-visual BT module of the MAIA microperimeter (Centervue, Padova, Italy) were assessed in two baseline visits and 1week post-BT (BT 80 min in total). The outcomes were distance and near binocular best corrected visual acuity (BBCVA), fixation stability, reading speed, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis and Children's Visual Function Questionnaire. One-way repeated measured ANOVA and paired -tests were used.
Distance BBCVA improved from 0.46 ± 0.21 and 0.43 ± 0.18 pre-BT to 0.33 ± 0.2 logMAR post-BT ( (2,27) = 13.75, = 0.0002). Post-BT was better than baseline ( = 0.0001) and pre-BT ( = 0.001). Near BBCVA improved from 0.23 ± 0.09 and 0.21 ± 0.14 pre-BT to 0.04 ± 0.08 post-BT (F (2,27) = 22.12, = 0.000014), post-BT was better than baseline ( = 0.0001) and pre-BT ( = 0.0006). Stereopsis improved from 283 ± 338″ to 39 ± 32.2″ ( = 0.04), contrast sensitivity from 0.26 ± 0.17 to 0.08 ± 0.12 log units ( = 0.01), and reading speed improved from 74.7 ± 51.2 wpm to 104.7 ± 53.6 wpm ( = 0.0006). Fixation stability improved from 33.6 ± 28.1 to 14.3 ± 10.1 sq. QoL increased from 23.8 ± 2.2 to 26.3 ± 2.3 units ( = 0.001).
BT benefited all visual functions and QoL in this pilot study, heralding a new possibility for Low Vision Rehabilitation in IINS.
生物反馈训练(BT)被应用于特发性婴儿性眼球震颤综合征(IINS)病例,以增强视觉功能和生活质量(QoL)。
10 名(9±3.2 岁)接受 MAIA 微视野仪(Centervue,帕多瓦,意大利)视听 BT 模块治疗的患者在两次基线访视和 BT 后 1 周(BT 共 80 分钟)进行评估。结果包括远距和近距双眼最佳矫正视力(BCVA)、固视稳定性、阅读速度、对比敏感度、立体视和儿童视觉功能问卷。采用单因素重复测量方差分析和配对检验。
远距 BCVA 从 BT 前的 0.46±0.21 和 0.43±0.18 提高到 BT 后的 0.33±0.2 logMAR((2,27)=13.75, =0.0002)。BT 后优于基线( =0.0001)和 BT 前( =0.001)。近距 BCVA 从 BT 前的 0.23±0.09 和 0.21±0.14 提高到 BT 后的 0.04±0.08(F (2,27)=22.12, =0.000014),BT 后优于基线( =0.0001)和 BT 前( =0.0006)。立体视从 283±338″提高到 39±32.2″( =0.04),对比敏感度从 0.26±0.17 提高到 0.08±0.12 log 单位( =0.01),阅读速度从 74.7±51.2 wpm 提高到 104.7±53.6 wpm( =0.0006)。固视稳定性从 33.6±28.1 提高到 14.3±10.1 sq,QoL 从 23.8±2.2 提高到 26.3±2.3 单位( =0.001)。
BT 使该试点研究中的所有视觉功能和 QoL 受益,为 IINS 的低视力康复带来了新的可能性。
