Acupuncturists claim they can help people with overactive bladders
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Nature.com features an article that briefly outlines the use of acupuncture to treat patients with overactive bladders.
Current therapies for overactive bladder syndrome are limited: around 50--70% of patients respond to anticholinergic medication, although significant adverse effects cause many patients to withdraw from therapy.
Behavioral and physical therapies often have good initial efficacy, but patient responses tend to attenuate after about 3 months.
There is, therefore, an unmet need for effective treatments for this common and socially debilitating problem.
