Objective: To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at four sacral points on overactive bladder syndrome.

Methods: A total of 120 female patients with overactive bladder syndrome were allocated to a treatment group of 80 cases and a control group of 40 cases on a voluntary basis. The patients in the treatment group received EA at four sacral points, and the treatment was given three times a week for 6 consecutive weeks, while the patients in the control group received oral administration of M-receptor antagonist tolterodine tartrate, which was given 4 mg each time, once a day for 6 consecutive weeks. Then the symptom scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.

Results: At the end of treatment, the symptom scores showed statistical significant differences in comparing with those before treatment in both groups (both P<0.01); the symptom score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).

Conclusion: EA at four sacral points is an effective method for overactive bladder syndrome.
