Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Sa-am acupuncture and Moxibustion on urgency by Overactive bladder in a 79-year-old female patient who has undergone Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) operation. Methods : Patient was treated with Sa-am acupuncture on four acupoints including 太淵(LU9), 太白(SP3), 魚際(LU10) and 少府(HT8) and Moxibustion on two acupoints including 水道(ST28) and 中極(CV12). Patient's symptom was assessed Overactive Bladder Symptom Score(OABSS), Bladder diary and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). The treatment was executed once everyday from June, 13th to June, 22th of 2017. Patient was observed from June, 11th to June, 22th. Results : After ten sessions of Sa-am acupuncture and Moxibustion, patient's urinary symptoms were evaluated by OABSS, Bladder diary, and KHQ. After the treatment, total OABSS score decreased from 9 to 5. The frequency of Urgency decreased from 4 to 1. The Urgency grade decreased 4~5 to 1. The mean number of pad changing decreased 3.5 to 1. The score of Role Limitations, Physical Limitations, Social Limitations, Emotions in KHQ decreased.
