The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of electroacupuncture at acupoints Baliao (BL31 Shangliao, BL32 Ciliao, BL33 Zhongliao, BL34 Xialiao) on patients with voiding problem. Neurogenic Bladder can be classified according to whether impairment of urinary reservoir or emptying. The first case was a patient with urinary emptying impairment. He was diagnosed with areflexic neurogenic bladder, and was managed with suprapubic cystostomy. After starting of electroacupuncture on Baliao, residual urine volume was gradually decreased, at last cystostomy could be removed. The second case was a patient with urinary reservoir impairment. She complained symptoms of urinary frequency, nocturia due to overactive bladder. After starting of electroacupuncture on Baliao, urination frequency was significantly decreased. We consider electroacupuncture on Baliao may have a useful effect on voiding problem, both urinary reservoir and emptying impairment.
