The paper introduces GAO Wei-bin′s clinical experience in acupuncture treatment for neurogenic bladder.In association with the etiology
the location and types of neurogenic bladder and in accordance with nerve anatomy and meridian differentiation
the acupoints are selected accurately in treatment. Four acupoint prescriptions are allocated. For frequent urination and urinary incontinence
the foot-motor-sensory area of scalp acupuncture
Shenshu(BL 23) and Huiyang(BL 35) are used. For all kinds of urine retention
especially the patients who are not suitable for acupuncture at the lumbar region
Zhongji(CV 3)
Qugu(CV 2)
Henggu(KI 11) and Dahe(KI 12) are selected. For all kinds of urine retention
Zhongliao(BL 33) and Ciliao(BL 32) are applicable. For the patients with both dysuria and urinary incontinence
Zhongliao(BL 33)
Ciliao(BL 32) and Huiyang(BL 35) are chosen. In treatment of neurogenic bladder
both biao(root causes) and ben(primary symptoms) are considered
as well as the accompanying symptoms; and electroacupuncture is combined accordingly. During the delivery of acupuncture
the sites where the acupoints located are detected and palpated so as to rationally control the depth of needle insertion and the operation of reinforcing and reducing needling techniques.
