초록

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of EC102, a composition containing oriental medicine, for relieving VDT syndrome, including eye symptoms and musculo-skeletal symptoms. Methods: The study was conducted by using a double blind randomized controlled trial design. 40 subjects were randomly assigned to the placebo group or the EC102 group. The visual analogous scale (VAS) was used to evaluate various VDT symptoms, including eye pain, eye fatigue, back pain, shoulder pain and so on. Refractory indexes were measured using refractometer, and tear film break-up time (BUT) were measured using fluorescein strip. Blood circulation was measured using photo-plethysmography. Blood pressure and blood biochemistry were also measured. Statistical analysis was conducted by a Mann-Whitney test using SPSS 9.0 software. Results: The EC102 group showed a statistically significant reduction of eye symptoms including eye fatigue, eyelid fatigue, itching, pain, and photophobia when compared with the placebo group (P<0.05). The EC102 group also showed a statistically significant reduction of back pain compared with the placebo group (P<0.05). No side effects on liver function and blood biochemistry were observed. Conclusions: EC102 has significant clinical efficacy for relieving symptoms of VDT syndrome.
