Abstract:
Objective To observe the safety and severity of heat-sensitive moxibustion in treating poisonous snakebites-induced bladder dysfunction of different degrees.Method Twenty-six patients diagnosed with bladder dysfunction due to poisonous snakebites were examined by type-B ultrasonic scanning for residual urine volume and uroflowmetry. The patients were treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion. The residual urine volume and uroflowmetry parameters were compared between different severity degrees of bladder dysfunction before and after treatment.Result The residual urine volumes were changed significantly in the mild group and moderate group after treatment (P<0.01); the residual urine volume showed insignificant change after treatment in the severe group (P>0.05). The maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) was significantly changed in the mild group after the treatment (P<0.05); the Qmax was insignificantly changed in the moderate and severe groups after treatment (P>0.05).Conclusion Heat-sensitive moxibustion is significantly effective in treating mild-moderate bladder dysfunction due to poisonous snakebites, and it’s safe and reliable.
