Research Abstract

We investigated the effects of neuromodulation by acupuncture stimulation for the impaired bladder function in rats. In this study we revealed that sacral acupuncture stimulation inhibited non-voiding bladder contraction (NVC) during storage phage in rats with spinal cord injury. Additionally、we clarified that that sacral acupuncture stimulation inhibited NVC during storage phage in rats with bladder outlet obstruction. We conclude that sacral acupuncture stimulation affect inhibition on bladder hyperactivity during storage phage.
