Objective To evaluate the application effect of elevating Yang moxibustion therapy in elderly female patients with stress urinary incontinence of kidney-Yang deficiency. Methods The elderly female patients with stress urinary incontinence in kidney-Yang deficiency were enrolled from a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou between September 2019 and May 2021. By the random number table,they were divided into an experimental group（n=40） and a control group（n=40）. The control group took pelvic floor muscle and bladder function training,the experimental group took the elevating Yang moxibustion on the basis of the control group for a course of 12 weeks,followed up to the 16th week. The daily urinary incontinence frequencies,1-hour urine leakage from pad test,ICI-Q-SF score and TCM syndrome score of stress urinary incontinence in kidney-Yang deficiency were compared between the 2 groups. Results At the 12th week of treatment,the difference in the number of daily incontinence between the 2 groups was statistically significant（t=-3.794,P<0.001）;the decrease of urine leakage in 1-hour pad test in the experimental group was greater than that in the control group （Z=5.270,P<0.001）;the ICI-Q-SF score（t=-3.297,P=0.001） and TCM syndrome score（t=-2.035,P<0.05） were compared between the 2 groups; the differences were statistically significant. At the 16th week of treatment,there were statistically significant differences in the number of daily urinary incontinence,ICI-Q-SF score and TCM syndrome score between the 2 groups. There were statistically significant differences in the number of daily urinary incontinence,ICI-Q-SF score and TCM syndrome score between the 2 groups at each time point（P<0.05）. Conclusion Moxibustion with elevating Yang method can reduce the daily frequencies of urinary incontinence and the urine leakage amount of 1-hour pad test in elderly female stress urinary incontinence patients with kidney-Yang deficiency,reduce the score of ICI-Q-SF and TCM syndrome score,thus improving the symptoms of urinary incontinence,and the quality of life of elderly female patients.
