简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pelvic floor exercises augmented with acupuncture on overactive bladder
详细描述
Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a common complaint affecting 11.8% of the population. OAB is defined by the International Continence Society as "urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology."Urinary frequency accompanies OAB in 20%-25% of cases, and nocturia is present in 70%-75% of cases. Around one in three people with OAB also experience urinary incontinence. . OAB can be further categorized into "OAB-dry" (urinary incontinence is absent) and "OAB-wet" (urinary incontinence is present). 2 OAB is a long-term condition that reduces quality of life, leading to anxiety and depression and a negative effect on self-esteem.
Pelvic floor exercises and acupuncture play an important role in overactive bladder.This trial has 2 groupes ,one will recieve pelvic floor exercises augmented with acupuncture ,the second will recive pelvic floor exercises only for 12weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
The patients will do pelvic floor exercises and acupuncture
The patients will perform pelvic floor exercises and acupuncture 3 times per week for 12 weeks
干预措施: Acupuncture (Device)
The patients will do pelvic floor exercises and acupuncture
The patients will perform pelvic floor exercises and acupuncture 3 times per week for 12 weeks
干预措施: pelvic floor exercises (Other)
The patient will do pelvic floor exercises
The patient will perform pelvic floor exercises 3 times per week for 12 weeks. pelvic floor muscles exercises involves repetitive contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles in an attempt to strengthen the muscles .
Each training session involved three training rounds and each round lasted for five minutes. Women will be instructed to perform PFMC and rest with 10min break between each round. They will be instructed to perform two to three sets of PFE repetitions per day, with 8-10 PFMC lasting for 10 s each set.

结局指标
主要结局
Modified Oxford scale
时间窗: 12 weeks
The scale ranges from 0 to 5 ranging from "no contraction" to "maximal contraction which is assessed by digital palpation using 1 to 2 fingers inserted into the vagina or rectum . This method is reliable to assess improvements in overall function and voluntary control of the PFM necessary for proper voiding
次要结局
- patient perception of intensity and urgency scale (PPIUS)(12 WEEKS)
