ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical effect of magnetic stimulation combined with moxibustion on mild to moderate overactive bladder (OAB) and sexual function in women.METHODS:
We enrolled 80 female patients with mild to moderate OAB in this study and equally randomized them into a control and an experimental group, the former treated by magnetic stimulation and the latter by magnetic stimulation combined with moxibustion, both for 8 weeks. We obtained from the patients their OAB syndrome scores (OABSS), 72-hour urination diary (72-h UD) scores, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire ï¼ Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) scores and female sexual function indexes (FSFI), and compared them between the two groups before and after intervention.RESULTS:
A total of 77 patients completed the study, 37 in the control and 40 in the experimental group. There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the baseline, the experimental group showed significant improvement after treatment in the OABSS (7.54±1.12 vs 4.46±0.96), 72-h urine volume (ï¼»126.40±46.04ï¼½ vs ï¼»216.63±38.26ï¼½ ml), urination frequency (15.55±3.21 vs 8.03±1.40), ICIQ-OAB score (10.25±1.15 vs 6.32±1.07) and FSFI (20.00±12.40 vs 33.30±21.00) (all P < 0.05), even more significantly than in the control group (OABSS 4.46±0.96 vs 5.59±0.90; 72-h urine volume ï¼»216.63±38.26ï¼½ vs ï¼»173.41±15.55ï¼½ ml; urination frequency 8.03±1.40 vs 9.90±1.49; ICIQ-OAB score 6.32±1.07 vs 7.89±0.77; FSFI 33.30±21.00 vs 30.40±10.40) (all P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Magnetic stimulation combined with moxibustion can improve the symptoms of mild to moderate overactive bladder and improve sexual function in females.Key words
