Aim: To study effects of micro current stimulation therapy in retinal diseases.
method: A Prospective cohort study of all consecutive Patients with degenerative retinal diseases presented to Retina department were scanned using Cirrus HD-OCT. Patients with visual acuity >3/60 were examined on Humphrey field analyser. Micro Current Neuromodulation (MCN) therapy was started. The relevant details were noted using standard format from the hospital data base & was tested using SPSS 22.
Result: Total 102 eyes were examined with mean age of 30 yrs.; highest being retinitis pigmentosa. Statistically significant improvement in macular thickness (p < 0.000), (RNFL) thickness (P < 0.000); mean deviation & visual field index. Difference was significant (p value 0.023 and < 0.000) in near activities and peripheral vision after the Micro current stimulation therapy.
Conclusion: Micro current Neuromodulation (MCN) therapy offers non-invasive for many incurable degenerative retinal diseases.
