VIDAL PEREZ, Teresa; VALERA BAEZ, Gilda Lisset; RAGOLTA MOGRAVE, Katiuska  e  JHONES CABRALES, Hilda Alicia. Effectiveness of digitopuncture and electromagnetopuncture in patients with congenital palpebral ptosis. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.10, pp. 1384-1391. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of digitopuncture and electromagnetopuncture in the treatment of patients with congenital palpebral ptosis (mild and moderate), attended in the physiatry consulting room of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department of "Dr. Juan de la Cruz Martinez Maceira" Northern Teaching Children Hospital from Santiago de Cuba in the first semester of 2010. The sample was formed by 50 children of both sexes and randomly distributed in the groups A and B, with 25 patients in each case: the first ones received digitopuncture and the second ones received electromagnetopuncture, although the last therapy turned out to be more effective, because it guaranteed in the 3 therapeutic cycles a favorable clinical course in all those who presented a mild drooping of the eyelid and in more than the three fourth parts of those affected by moderate ptosis.
