Methods： A total of 120 female patients with overactive bladder syndrome were allocated to a treatment group of 80 cases and a control group of 40 cases on a voluntary basis. The patients in the treatment group received EA at four sacral points, and the treatment was given three times a week for 6 consecutive weeks, while the patients in the control group received oral administration of M-receptor antagonist tolterodine tartrate, which was given 4 mg each time, once a day for 6 consecutive weeks. Then the symptom scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results： At the end of treatment, the symptom scores showed statistical significant differences in comparing with those before treatment in both groups （both P〈0.02）; the symptom score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： EA at four sacral points is an effective method for overactive bladder syndrome.展开更多
