Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the research trends and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Korean medicine treatment by analyzing the recently published clinical studies of Korean medicine treatment on nocturnal enuresis in children. Methods The literatures were searched from OASIS, KISS, NDSL, RISS, Cochrane, CINAHL, Embase, Pubmed, and only clinical studies published from 2000 to October 2019 were included. The publication year, study type, type of enuresis, demographic information of participants, duration of illness, intervention type and details, follow-up period, outcome measurements and adverse events of selected literatures were analyzed. Results A total of 38 studies were selected. In the selected studies, acupuncture was the most frequently used treatment for nocturnal enuresis, followed by herbal medicine, electrical stimulation treatment, moxibustion, acupressure and plaster therapy. The most commonly used acupoints for acupuncture were SP6 and CV4, and the most used herbal medicine was Chukcheonwhan, while Alpiniae Fructus (益智仁) and Dioscoreae Rhizoma (山藥) were the most used herbal materials. Most of the studies showed that the total effective rate of Korean medicine treatment was high. All the adverse events occurred in the Korean medicine treatment group were caused by acupuncture or puncture. Conclusions This study analyzed clinical studies of Korean medicine treatment on nocturnal enuresis in children, identified the research trends and evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the Korean medicine treatment.
