Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion based on Lai's Tongyuan needling technique on retention of urine after stroke. Methods Totally 65 stroke patients with retention of urine were randomly divided into the control group (n=32) and observation group (n=33). All patients received comprehensive treatment and nursing care, and those in the observation group were given moxibustion based on Lai's Tongyuan needling technique. The frequency of urination and residual urine volume were recorded, and the effect of intervention was compared between two groups. Results Better outcomes of frequency of urination and residual urine volume were found in the observation group than those in the control group after intervention(P＜0. 05), The overall effective rate was 96. 67%(32/33) in the observation group and 78. 13%(25/32) in the control group, with a significant difference (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The moxibustion based on Lai's Tongyuan needling technique is potentially effective to improve the bladder function of patients with retention of urine after stroke.
