Summary
This study tested whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) can improve symptoms of mild-to-moderate dry eye. 168 adults received either real or sham (fake) electroacupuncture to see if the treatment was more than a placebo. The researchers measured tear stability and nerve changes to understand how it works.
