Moxibustion for Nocturia
Sponsor: Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital
Summary
Nocturia, the interruption of sleep due to nighttime voiding, severely compromises quality of life, emotional health, and overall well-being when occurring twice or more per night. Given that some patients experience inadequate responses to conventional Western therapies or harbor concerns about the long-term side effects of pharmaceuticals, many are turning to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for alternative solutions. This study utilized a randomized clinical trial design to investigate the efficacy and safety of acupoint moxibustion for nocturia.
