A prospective study on the symptomatic effect of traditional Chinese acupuncture treatment and transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) of the tibial nerve in patients with interstitial cystitis is presented. There was no difference in voiding frequency, mean voided volume, maximal voided volume or visual analogue scale symptom scores before or after treatment with either TENS or acupuncture. Only one patient became improved both subjectively and objectively after acupuncture for a short period of time. Even though the present material involves a small group of patients, it seems that the two methods, as applied in this study, have a very limited effect in patients with interstitial cystitis.
本文呈现了一项关于传统中医针刺疗法及胫神经经皮电刺激神经疗法（TENS）对间质性膀胱炎患者症状影响的前瞻性研究。无论是TENS治疗还是针刺治疗前后，患者的排尿频率、平均排尿量、最大排尿量或视觉模拟量表症状评分均无差异。仅一名患者在针刺治疗后短期内主观及客观症状均有改善。尽管本研究样本量较小，但似乎本研究中应用的这两种方法对间质性膀胱炎患者的疗效非常有限。
