Tóm tắt

BACKGROUND: Patients with severe traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) often show limited improvement in visual function despite therapy. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate whether targeted shortwave diathermy (SWD) combined with perceptual training enhances visual function in patients with severe TON following endoscopic optic nerve decompression (EOND) surgery. METHODS: Forty patients with severe TON after EOND surgery were randomly assigned to either the rehabilitation (Reh) group ( RESULTS: After 16 weeks of rehabilitation, the best-corrected visual acuity ( CONCLUSIONS: Targeted SWD combined with perceptual training demonstrated beneficial effects in patients with severe TON after EOND surgery. Notably, this study provides the first evidence of visual function recovery occurring 73 days after complete vision loss in child with TON when combined rehabilitation was implemented.
