Abstract

Objectives :Electroacupuncture is one of the primary remedies in oriental medicine. Elecroacupuncture was applied on a nocturia patient. Improvement of the symptoms was experienced. This case is reported in order to derive further studies evaluating the effectiveness of this treatment. Methods :Electroacupuncture on the Ciliao acupoint(BL32) was performed twice daily for 1 week. Results :After about 1 week of electroacupuncture on the Ciliao acupoint(BL32), there was a remarkable decrease of nocturia frequency. Conclusion :We present the case of a man with an overactive bladder who had several stokes as well as hypertension. Electroacupuncture treatment performed on the Ciliao acupoint(BL32) remarkably improved nocturia.
