Brief summary

Neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury can be divided into detrusor hyperreflexia and detrusor non reflexia. Acupuncture is recognized as a safe and effective treatment. The most commonly used acupoints are Guanyuan, Zhongji and Sanyinjiao. The purpose of this study is to clarify the therapeutic effects of different acupoints on different types of bladder. Main process: routine urodynamic examination was performed first, and then electroacupuncture was given to Guanyuan, Zhongji and Sanyinjiao points respectively, and urodynamic examination was performed again to observe the effect of Electroacupuncture on urodynamic parameters in real time.
