Clinical Study of Ginger-salt Partitioned Moxibustion on Shenque Point on Urinary Retention after Stroke

Objective: To explore the effect of ginger-salt partitioned moxibustion on Shenque point on urinary retention after stroke.Methods: 45 patients were randomly divided into a treatment group treated with ginger-salt partitioned moxibustion on Shenque point(30 cases) and a control group treated with acupuncture(15 cases).The treatment group were treated 10~20 minutes and the control group were treated 30 minutes.The therapeutic effects were observed and compared.Results: The cure rate(73.33%) of treatment group significantly higher than the control group(40.00%).The quality of life score(1.23±0.63) and residual urine(15.40±9.54 mL) were significantly lower than the control group(2.00±0.83,41.00±23.15 mL).Conclusion: Both ginger-salt partitioned moxibustion on Shenque point and acupuncture can reduce residual urine and rise the quality of life score of stroke patients with urinary retention.But the therapy of ginger-salt partitioned moxibustion on Shenque point was more safety and effective.
