Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) for simple female stress urinary incontinence.

Detailed Description

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common disease of female. The inconvenience caused by SUI affects the patients' quality of life and health seriously. To date, there has not specific therapy on SUI. Former research showed acupuncture may work for SUI. This multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial of acupuncture for simple female stress urinary incontinence is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of EA. This project is conducted by Chinese researchers, supported by the Chinese Government. The research result is expected to provide high quality evidence of EA for simple female stress urinary incontinence.
