Purpose: The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of Korean medicine treatment on overactive bladder.
Methods: 64 patients of overactive bladder received Korean medicine treatment for at least 30days. We studied retrospectively symptom disappearance rate, the relationship between the improvement rate and age, scale of symptoms, BMI(Body Mass Index), WHR(Waist Hip Ratio).
Results: Symptoms of 27 patients were disappeared, and those of 28 patients were improved. But 9 patients didn’t show the improvement of their urination problems. The symptom disappearance rate was 43.08%. The improvement rate was 85.15%. The meanstandard deviation of daily frequency was reduced from 10.05128 to 7.44872 after treatment(p<0.0001) The symptom disappearance rate was reverse-related with the OABSS score, KHQ and WHR. The improvement rate of married patients was higher than unmarried patients. And especially that was co-related with the frequency of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that Korean medicine treatments, such as acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal prescriptions have positive efficacy on overactive bladder patients in ordinary clinical practice.
