| Research Abstract |
This study of functional morphology was performed to investigate the action mechanism of the acupuncture for the transfer system of desire-to-void using overactive bladder model rats. The intercontraction interval was increased immediately after sacral acupuncture stimulation in acetic acid-induced bladder irritation rats and chloride-induced cystitis rats. And we observed the change of the recovery course of bladder mucosa by performing a sacral acupuncture. Sacral acupuncture stimulus is effective in improving urinary frequency by different action mechanism from medication, and can expect the effect on the overactive bladder of tolerance.
