ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at specific points in treating different degrees of urgency-frequency syndrome. Methods Sixty patients with urgency-frequency syndrome were randomly allocated, according to the symptom score, to groups A (the symptom score≤ 24) and B (the symptom score>24), 30 cases each. Both groups received electroacupuncture at specific points (four sacral points and four abdominal points). In the two groups, the symptoms were scored before and after treatment and the clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the symptom score in the two groups (P0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at specific points is an effective way to treat urgency-frequency syndrome.
