METHODS: A total of 120 patients with postpartum urinary retention were randomly divided a triple-combination group, a double-combination group, and a massage group, with 40 patients in each group. All groups received standard postpartum care to stimulate urination. The patients in the massage group received rapid acupoint massage at the bilateral Shuidao (ST 28); the patients in the double-combination group additionally received acupoint sticking of self-made Tongquan powder at bilateral Shuidao (ST 28); the patients in the triple-combination group further received moxibustion at bilateral Shuidao (ST 28). The treatment was given once in all three groups. After 5 hours of treatment completion, bladder residual volume was measured; the time and volume of first urination as well as total urination volume after 5 hours of treatment completion were recorded; the patients\' sensation of urination smoothness, satisfaction rate, length of hospital stay, and hospital costs were evaluated.
RESULTS: The triple-combination group showed significantly lower residual urine volumes (P<0.05), earlier first urination time (P<0.05, P<0.001), and higher first urination volumes and total urination volumes after 5 hours of treatment completion compared to the other two groups (P<0.05, P<0.001). The sensation of urination smoothness and patient satisfaction were also significantly better in the triple-combination group (P<0.001, P<0.05). The double-combination group had higher volume of first urination and total urination volume after 5 hours of treatment completion than the massage group (P<0.05), and better sensation of urination smoothness and patient satisfaction (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay and costs among the three groups (P>0.05). The total effective rates were 100.0% (40/40) for the triple-combination group, 90.0% (36/40) for the double-combination group, and 70.0% (28/40) for the massage group, with the triple-combination group significantly outperforming the other two groups (P<0.05, P<0.001), and double-combination group outperforming the massage group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Acupoint massage, acupoint sticking combined with moxibustion at Shuidao (ST 28) could effectively improve urination in patients with postpartum urinary retention, and enhance patient satisfaction.
目的:观察于水道穴行穴位按摩、穴位贴敷联合艾灸治疗产后尿潴留的临床疗效。方法:将120例产后尿潴留患者随机分为三联组、两联组和按摩组,每组40例。3组均予产后常规护理刺激排尿。按摩组于双侧水道穴行快速按摩;两联组于按摩组基础上于双侧水道穴行自拟通泉散穴位贴敷;三联组于两联组基础上于双侧水道穴行艾灸干预。3组均治疗1次。治疗后5 h检测患者膀胱残余尿量,记录患者首次排尿时间、首次排尿量及治疗后5 h排尿总量,评价首次排尿通畅感和患者满意度,记录住院天数和住院费用,并评定3组临床疗效。结果:三联组患者膀胱残余尿量少于两联组及按摩组(P<0.05),首次排尿时间早于两联组及按摩组(P<0.05,P<0.001),首次排尿量、治疗后5 h排尿总量多于两联组及按摩组(P<0.05,P<0.001),首次排尿通畅感和患者满意度优于两联组及按摩组(P<0.001,P<0.05);两联组患者首次排尿量、治疗后5 h排尿总量多于按摩组(P<0.05),首次排尿通畅感和患者满意度优于按摩组(P<0.05)。3组患者住院天数及住院费用比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。三联组、两联组和按摩组总有效率分别为100.0%(40/40)、90.0%(36/40)和70.0%(28/40),三联组总有效率高于两联组及按摩组(P<0.05,P<0.001),两联组总有效率高于按摩组(P<0.05)。结论:于水道穴行穴位按摩、穴位贴敷联合艾灸治疗可有效改善产后尿潴留患者排尿情况,提高患者满意度。.
