针灸治疗老年性尿失禁研究进展

Research Progress in the Treatment of Senile Urinary Incontinence with Acupuncture and Moxibustion

老年性尿失禁作为老年人群体中的常见病症,是老年人各种疾病所导致的尿失禁的总称,其不光降低了老年人生活质量,还会影响老年人心理健康。西医相关训练对于老年性尿失禁无法做到根治且存在老年人依从性差导致治疗效果欠佳等问题。中医认为老年人性尿失禁属虚证,针灸穴位多选膀胱经温煦膀胱、任脉固本培元、脾经补中益气,辅以电针、艾灸、中药、埋线、火针等疗法,不光治疗效果明显,且简易经济符合老年患者诉求。本文对近年来老年性尿失禁案例及相关动物实验进行分析,总结辨证施治及治疗方法,从而更进一步为研究针灸在治疗老年性尿失禁方面的临床研究提供参考。

Senile urinary incontinence, as a common disease among the elderly population, is a general term for urinary incontinence caused by various diseases in the elderly. It not only reduces the quality of life of the elderly, but also affects their mental health.

This paper analyzes the cases of senile urinary incontinence in recent years and related animal experiments, summarizes the treatment and treatment methods based on syndrome dif-ferentiation, and further provides reference for the clinical research of acupuncture and moxibus-tion in the treatment of senile urinary incontinence.
