简要总结
- Screening: The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) comprising symptoms associated with digital eye strain will be utilized as the screening tool for participant enrolment and randomization.

· Group 1 will undergo Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment in two sessions, each lasting 10 days. During the first session, participants will receive daily 30-minute acupuncture sessions. After a 10-day break, the second session of TCM treatment will commence.
· Additionally, participants in Group 1 will engage in Palming throughout the study period. Palming sessions will be conducted daily for one month, procedure every 3 hours for 5 minutes with 6 rounds, upon waking up till before bedtime, consistently for the duration of the 30-day study period.
· Group 2, will solely participate in Palming. Palming sessions will be repeated this prescribed Palming procedure every 3 hours for 5 minutes with 6 rounds, upon waking up till before bedtime, consistently for the duration of the 30-day study period.
