The results showed that (1) The present therapy is effective for enuresis with cure rate of 66.18% and total effective rate of 92. 65 %; (2) The curative effects was related with the syndrome differentiation (P <0. 01), e. g. it is effective for deficiency of kidney-Yang and deficiency of Qi in lung and spleen types, but ineffective for the type of downward flow of damp-heat; (3) The therapeutic effect was also closely related with the course of disease. The shorter the course of illness lasted, the more effective the therapy was, indicating that such patients should be treated in the early stage. This method is not only comparable to other conventional acupuncture methods in respects of the cure rate and total effective rate, but is also simple to apply, safe to use, easy to be accepted by children and adverse-effect free. It is deserved to be popularized as a effective therapy for enuresis in children patients.展开更多
