| Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electro-acupuncture combined with magnetic stimulation of the sacral nerve roots for the neurogenic bladder in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods: Eighty patients with neurogenic bladder following spinal cord injury were randomly divided into four groups (n=20 each): conventional group, electro-acupuncture group, magnetic stimulation group and combination group. The combination group was treated by the three methods mentioned above, and the patients were given drinking project and intermittent catheterization. Emiction diary, urodynamic investigation and quality of life score were applied to evaluate the efficacy. Results: By comparing the differences in the indicators of emiction diary and urodynamics after treatment, it was found that the efficacy in the combination group was significantly better than the conventional group, electro-acupuncture group and magnetic stimulation group, and that in the electro acupuncture group and magnetic stimulation group was significantly better than in the conventional group (P<0.05). The quality of life score in the combination group was lower than in the rest three groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both electro acupuncture and magnetic stimulation therapy could significantly improve emiction function, and electro-acupuncture combined with magnetic stimulation of the sacral nerve roots can obtain more satisfactory efficacy. |
