A Clinical Study Of Modified Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Combined With Moxibustion At Guanyuan Acupoint In The Treatment Of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence

ObjectObserving the clinical effects on treating the female stress urinary incontinence by functional training of modified pelvic floor muscles combine with moxa-wool moxibustion at energy passMethodAccording to random number table,60 cases of patients with female stress urinary incontinence from Urology and Gynecology Clinic and Inpatient Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.The enrolled pati ents were divided into 3 groups.Group A,20 cases,were treated by functional training of modified pelvic floor muscles;Group B,20 cases,were treated by moxa-woo 1 moxibustion at energy pass;Group C,20 cases,were treated by functional training pelvic floor muscles combining with moxa-wool moxibustion at energy pass.Comp ared the score of Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire(ICI—Q—SF)from Internationa 1 Consultation on Incontinence,muscle force of pelvic floor muscles and clinical effi cacy in each of 3 groups before and after the treatment.Scores of ICI—Q—SF.muscle force of pelvic floor muscles and clinical efficacy in each of 3 groups 6 months after the treatment were recorded to evaluate the effect on female stress urinary in continence by functional training of modified pelvic floor muscles combine-with moxa-wool moxibustion at energy pass.ResultThere were no significant differences in ICI—Q—SF scores and muscle force of pelvic floor muscles between the three groups before the treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,ICI—Q—SF scores decreased in 3 groups(P<0.05),muscle force of pelvic floor muscles increased in 3 groups,and the effect of group C was significantly h igher than that in group A and B(P<0.05),the clinical efficacy was done after 6 months,the effect of group C was significantly higher than that of group A and B(P<0.05).ConclusionEach of the three groups presented the alleviation of symptoms of female stress urinary incontinence.Functional training of modified pelvic floor muscles combine with moxa-wool moxibustion at energy pass is an effective treatment.
