Abstract
Acupuncture at Baliao points for urinary incontinence has the advantages of obvious therapeutic effect, simple operation and few complications, which is mainly used for the treatment of urinary incontinence after stroke, urinary incontinence after spinal cord injury, stress urinary incontinence and urinary incontinence of bladder overactivity, etc. Urinary incontinence after stroke and spinal cord injury is a complication of disease, most of which are combined with acupuncture at Baliao points on the basis of primary disease treatment. The bladder meridian of foot-Taiyang has the characteristics of "entering the collateral brain" and "carrying spine to the waist". Baliao points can conduct induction along the bladder meridian to the sick site along the bladder meridian, and can play a certain therapeutic role in the treatment of the primary disease. Stress urinary incontinence and urinary incontinence of bladder overactivity can be regarded as independent diseases. Since Baliao points are located in the lumbosacral region which is close to the bladder, acupuncture can play a role in the near treatment of acupoints, improve the operation of bladder qi and blood, and the curative effect has a cumulative effect.
