Abstract

Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate Korean Medicine treatment for neurogenic bladder. Methods : We used 8 electronic databases to search for articles dealing with Korean Medicine treatment for neurogenic bladder. As a result, 12 case reports were adopted and we analyzed treatment method reported in articles. Results : Acupuncture and herbal medicine were most commonly used method (12 times), followed by moxibustion (8 times), and pharmacopuncture (4 times). BL31, BL32, BL33 and BL34 for acupuncture, CV4 for pharmacopuncture and moxibustion were most frequently used acupoints. Yungmijihwangtang and Oryeong-san were the most used herbal medicine. Conclusions : All included cases in this study showed improvement and this study showed the possibilities that Korean Medicine treatment would be effective for neurogenic bladder. However, further studies should be conducted for comparison and analysis of effect on various Korean Medicine treatment.
