Laser- versus Nadelakupunktur bei der Behandlung von nächtlicher Enuresis bei Kindern: Eine randomisiert-kontrollierte Studie
Abstract
Nocturnal enuresis is commonly described as a multifactorial pathophysiological case scenario with a high genetic background as regards immaturity of the central nervous system controlling the detrousor muscle activity.
Objective
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of laser and needle acupuncture as complementary modalities for treatment of nocturnal enuresis.
Patients and Methods
The current research study is a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted on 90 patients aged from 7 to 14 years. The patients had been categorized into 3 groups, 30 patients in each group. Group A had been subjected to laser acupuncture therapy in conjunction with Imipramine (tofranil) (2.5 mg/kg/day, maximum dose 50 mg/day). Group B had been exposed to needle acupuncture in conjunction with tofranil, while group C had been subjected to tofranil medication only.
Results
Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the number of sessions and number of dry nights among laser and needle research groups (p values <0.001 and <0.001). There were significant negative correlations between the number of sessions and changes in number of attacks among laser and needle research groups (p values <0.001 and 0.001 consecutively).
Conclusion
Patients treated by laser and needle acupuncture showed statically significant improvement higher than cases taken tofranil alone.
