Abstract:
To observe the clinical efficacy of combined acupuncture and Tuina in the treatment of enuresis following occult cleft spine and seek quantified indexes for result assessment, 40 subjects were treated by above methods and B-ultrasonically examined before and after treatment to determine the capacity of bladder and the residual urine inside it. The total effective rate was 90%; there was a difference of the capacity of bladder between before and after treatment (P＜0.05); 11 cases suffered from residual urine, and there was also significant difference of residual urine between before and after treatment (P＜0.01). It is revealed that this method can increase the capacity of bladder and diminish residual urine.
