Magnetic stimulation combined with moxibustion improves mild to moderate overactive bladder and sexual function in women
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-Overactive Bladder(ICIQ-OAB)scores and female sexual function indexes(FSFI),and compared them between the two groups before and after interven-tion.Results:A total of 77 patients completed the study,37 in the control and 40 in the experimental group.There were no statisti-cally 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([126.40±46.04]vs[216.63±38.26]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:[216.63±38.26]vs[173.41±15.55]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).Conclu-sion:Magnetic stimulation combined with moxibustion can improve the symptoms of mild to moderate overactive bladder and improve sexual function in females.
