ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at four sacral points on overactive bladder syndrome.Methods:
A total of 120 female patients with overactive bladder syndrome were allocated to a treatment group of 80 cases and a control group of 40 cases on a voluntary basis.The patients in the treatment group received EA at four sacral points,and the treatment was given three times a week for 6 consecutive weeks,while the patients in the control group received oral administration of M-receptor antagonist tolterodine tartrate,which was given 4 mg each time,once a day for 6 consecutive weeks.Then the symptom scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:
At the end of treatment,the symptom scores showed statistical significant differences in comparing with those before treatment in both groups (both P<0.01);the symptom score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group,showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusion:
EA at four sacral points is an effective method for overactive bladder syndrome.
