Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture at Huiyang (BL35) and Zhongliao (BL33) plus scalp acupuncture in treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), for providing clinical evidence in the treatment of SUI.Method Ninety eligible female SUI patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group. The observation group was intervened by electroacupuncture at Huiyang and Zhongliao plus scalp acupuncture, while the control group was asked to practice contracting anus. The urine leakage degree, residual urine volume in bladder and clinical efficacy were compared.ResultAfter treatment, there was a significant difference in comparing urine leakage degree between the two groups (P<0.05); there was a significant between-group difference in comparing the residual urine volume (P<0.05); the cured and markedly-effective rate was 62.2% in the observation group versus 35.6% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionElectroacupuncture at Huiyang and Zhongliao plus scalp acupuncture can produce a more significant clinical efficacy compared with rehabilitation training in treating female SUI.
