Abstract

Objective

To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus umbilicus application with Chinese medicine for detrusor underactivity.

Methods

A total of 46 male patients with detrusor underactivity who were admitted to our hospital between January and December 2017 were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 23 cases in each group. The control group received intermittent catheterization and routine nursing, and the observation group was treated with acupuncture plus umbilicus application with Chinese medicine on the basis of the treatment of the control group. The comprehensive efficacy, the improvement of bladder urine residue and maximum flow rate of the two groups were observed.

Results

No cases dropped out in the two groups. After the intervention, the total effective rate of the observation group was 78.3%, which was significantly higher than 52.2% of the control group (P<0.05). After intervention, the improvements of bladder urine residue and maximum flow rate in the observation group were statistically different from those in the control group (both P<0.05).

Conclusion

The combination of acupuncture and umbilicus application with Chinese medicine added on the basis of intermittent catheterization and routine nursing has a certain effect in treating male patients with detrusor underactivity, and is worth further clinical study.
