[Acupuncture and micro-massage in the treatment of idiopathic nocturnal enuresis]

Bartocci C, Lucentini M.

1) Goals of the Research. We have treated 15 cases of night enuresis (4-13 year) 9 of which had already been treated with other therapies without success, in order to compare the two methods. 2) Methods employed. A) Acupuncture in 10 cases at the following loci, alternatively every other day, with an average number of treatments of 10 per patient: treatment a) C7-E36-RP6-VC3; treatment b) V23-V28-V32. B) Micromassage on the points "Nicturia" in the creases between the first and the second and the third phalanx of the 5th finger (P. Chang) in 5 cases; the first treatment at the presence of parents who have then repeated treatments at home every night for ten minutes, for an average of 20 days. 3) Results and summary. With acupuncture: 7:10 complete recovery, 2 partial recoveries, 1 negative result. With micromassage: 2:5, complete recovery, 1 partial recovery, 2 negative results. Both groups were followed-up up to 4 months after the last treatment. Acupuncture produces better results in percentage, however the second method is, for its simplicity, a valid alternative mostly in little children who reject acupuncture and it should be further investigated.
