Abstract:
Acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injuries at home and abroad in recent years is introduced. The acupuncture and moxibustion methods for treatment of this kind of disease are classified and analyzed from body acupuncture, electroacupuncture, acupoint pressure and massage, acupoint-injection, acupoint sticking and so on. Acupuncture and moxibustion are widely applied to treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injuries, with definite therapeutic effect and good safety. The effectiveness of other evaluation indexes of acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injuries needs to be proved by more randomized and controlled trials of high quality with strict design and scientific methods.
