Clinical observation of Yintang and Guanyuan acupoints penetrating needling therapy in regualting Ren and Governor channels in the treatment of diabetic neurogenic bladder
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Yintang and Guanyuan acupoints penetrating needling therapy in regualting Ren and Governor channels(任督)in the treatment of diabetic neurogenic bladder.Methods:A total of 21 patients diagnosed with diabetic neurogenic bladder were selected from the Outpatient and Inpatient Departments of Endocrinology Department of Taiyuan Central Hospital from June 2018 to April 2022.On the basis of the routine treatment,the acupuncture treatment of Yintang and Guanyuan acupoints pen-etrating needling therapy in regualting Ren and Govemor channels was given,and the specific acupoints included Yintang(EX-HN3),Guanyuan(RN4),Zhongji(RN3)and bilateral Taixi(KI3)acupoints.7 days was a course of treatment,and the average length of treatment for patients was l.48 courses.The residual urinary volume,daily frequency of urination and TCM syndrome score of the patients were observed before and after treat-ment,and the total effective rate and adverse reactions were observed.Results:Compared with before treatment,the residual urinary volume of the bladder after urination was significantly decreased,the daily frequency of urination was significantly decreased,and the TCM syndrome score was significantly decreased.The differences of the above indexes before and after treatment were statistically significant(P<0.05).Among the 21 patients,17 were significantly effective,3 were effective and l was ineffective.The total effective rate was 95.24%(20/21).No adverse reactions were observed in all patients during treatment.Conclusion:Basic treatment combined with Yintang and Guanyuan acupoints penetrating needling therapy in regualting Ren and Governor channels has a good clinical effect in the treatment of diabetic neurogenic bladder,which can reflect the effective improvement of clinical symptoms in patients from the residual urinary volume of the bladder,the daily frequency of urination,the TCM syndrome score,the total effective rate and the occurrence of adverse reactions.Acupuncture has the advantages of low operation difficulty,high efficiency and low cost,which is in line with the green and healthy treatment concept,and is worth popularizing in the clinical treatment practice of diabetic neurogenic bladder.
