Abstract:
Objective To discuss the safety and effectiveness of heat-sensitive moxibustion for bladder dysfunction after poisonous snakebite. Method Twenty-six patients with bladder dysfunction due to poisonous snakebite were intervened by heat-sensitive moxibustion, and the changes of residual urine volume and uroflowmetry parameters were analyzed by using type-B ultrasonic scanning and uroflowmetry. Result According to the ultrasonic scanning and uroflowmetry, the residual urine volume was significantly changed after treatment in the 26 subjects (P<0.05), and the maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) was also significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Heat-sensitive moxibustion can improve the residual urine volume and Qmax in bladder dysfunction after poisonous snakebite, and it’s a safe and reliable method.
