We report two cases that visual function was improved by relieving neck stiffness.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n (Case 1) A 34-year-old female complained of neck stiffness and visual problems after computer work. She was treated by parietal acupoint therapy (PAPT), which is a new scalp micro-acupuncture system. The evaluation of accommodative micro-fluctuations (the Fk-map) showed that increased bilateral ciliary muscle tension in the middle to near distance was relieved bilaterally, accompanied by relief of neck stiffness after treatment. (Case 2) A 43-year-old female complained of a visual problem with pressure pain on the bilateral posterior cervical muscles. Performing with PAPT improved impaired ciliary muscle tension noticeably with relief of neck stiffness after treatment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This is the first report on the improvement of impaired ocular accommodation with treating neck stiffness by using PAPT.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jcim-2019-0309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,26]],"date-time":"2020-05-26T12:32:03Z","timestamp":1590496323000},"page":"231-233","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Improvement in impaired ocular accommodation by parietal acupoint therapy to relieve neck stiffness: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Naoki","family":"Aoyama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Community Health Care Organization , Yokohama Central Hospital , Neurosurgery , 268 Yamashita-cho , Naka-ku , Yokohama , Kanagawa , Japan"},{"name":"Shinjuku Mizoguchi Clinic , Tokyo , Japan"},{"name":"The Society of Parietal Acupoint Therapy , Oita , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Aso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Society of Parietal Acupoint Therapy , Oita , Japan"},{"name":"Division of Ophthalmology , Department of Visual Sciences , Nihon University School of Medicine , Tokyo , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osamu","family":"Fujii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Society of Parietal Acupoint Therapy , Oita , Japan"},{"name":"Fujii Dental Clinic , Saitama , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Mizoguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shinjuku Mizoguchi Clinic , Tokyo , Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121209314049157_j_jcim_2019-0309_ref_001_w2aab3b7d103b1b6b1ab2b2b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cheon S, Park S.
