67 adult women with a history of recurrent lower urinary tract infection (UTI) were randomized for acupuncture treatment, sham acupuncture, or no treatment. The incidence rate of UTI over the following six months was noted. In the acupuncture group a total of 85% was free of cystitis during the six-month observational period, as compared to 58% in the sham group (p < 0.05), and 36% in the control group (p < 0.01). Compared to the acupuncture group, twice as many incidents of cytitis occurred in the sham group, and three times as many in the control group (p < 0.05). Acupuncture seems a worthwhile alternative in the prevention of frequently recurring cystitis in women.
67名有复发性下尿路感染（UTI）病史的成年女性被随机分为接受针灸治疗组、假针灸组或不治疗组。记录了接下来六个月内UTI的发病率。在针灸组中，在六个月的观察期内共有85%的人没有膀胱炎，假针灸组为58%（p<0.05），对照组为36%（p<0.01）。与针灸组相比，假针灸组膀胱炎的发生率是针灸组的两倍，对照组是三倍（p<0.05）。针灸似乎是预防女性频繁复发性膀胱炎的一种值得尝试的替代方法。
