Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical effects and safety of scalp-body acupuncture and spine-manipulation therapy on preventively treating cervical cancer patients with postoperative urinary retention. Methods A total of 160 cases of cervical cancer patients with postoperative urinary retention were randomized into treatment group and control group, 80 cases in each group. Both groups were given conventional western medical treatment including preoperative indwelling of urethral catheter, clamping of urethral catheter 5 d after operation and release of the urine every 2-3 h, and trying to remove the urethral catheter 10-12 d after operation. Additionally, the treatment group received scalp acupuncture in the foot motor sensory area, body acupuncture of bilateral Shenshu (BL23) , Pangguangshu (BL28) , Ciliao (BL32) acupoints, and spine-manipulation therapy 5 d after operation. The clinical outcomes covered the incidence of urinary retention, residual urine volume, reset rate of catheter, and the clinical effect and safety in the two groups were evaluated. Results ( 1) The therapeutic effect of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group, and then the difference was significant (P<0.05). (2) After treatment, the incidence of urinary retention, residual urine volume, reset rate of catheter and average hospitalization days were less in the treatment group than those in the control group, the differences being significant ( P<0.05). ( 3) There was no adverse reaction during the treatment course. Conclusion Scalp acupuncture in the foot motor sensory area combined with body acupuncture and spine-manipulation therapy can promote the recovery of micturation function, and have satisfactory clinical effect and high safety in preventively treating cervical cancer with postoperative urinary retention.
