Observation of curative effect of point electric stimulation for urinary incontinence after postoperative cerebral hemorrhage / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of point electric stimulation for urinary incontinence after postoperative cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Eighty patients with urinary incontinence after postoperative cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into treatment group and control group(n=40 case). Point electric stimulation was given to the treatment group, and Oxybutynin hydrochloride sustained release tablets was given orally to the control group. Index of urinary diary and bladder capacity in both groups before treatment and after 3 weeks of treatment were observed.Results After 3 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate(87.2%vs. 65.8%,χ2=4.916) in the treatment group were better than the control group (P<0.05). The times of voided (10.15 ± 2.21 times/24 hvs. 18.63 ± 3.42 times/24 h,t=12.956), the times of urinary incontinence (2.18 ± 1.04 times/24 h vs. 6.19 ± 2.16 times/24 h,t=10.421), the average voided volume (293.38 ± 16.32 mlvs. 180.82 ± 15.43 ml, t=31.083), the initial sensory capacity of bladder (276.73 ± 20.95 mlvs. 186.43 ± 21.14 ml,t=18.825), the maximum capacity of bladder (492.81 ± 23.72 mlvs. 293.81 ± 24.46 ml,t=36.244), the residual urine volume(13.25 ± 5.83 mlvs. 34.63 ± 6.25 ml,t=15.527) in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.01).Conclusions The treatment of point electric stimulation can reduce the symptoms of urinary incontinence.
