Electroacupuncture significantly improved urinary continence (UC) in men after prostatectomy. This therapy may accelerate recovery and reduce urinary incontinence (UI) burden when used alongside standard care.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Integrative Medicine
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Postprostatectomy urinary incontinence (UI) significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Effective noninvasive therapies for early UI post-radical prostatectomy (RP) are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture for early UI following RP.
  • To determine if electroacupuncture can accelerate urinary continence (UC) recovery.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, single-center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial involving 110 men with early UI post-RP.
  • Participants were randomized to receive either electroacupuncture or sham stimulation for 6 weeks.
  • Urinary continence was defined as using 0-1 pad per day at 6 weeks post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • The electroacupuncture group showed a significantly higher UC rate at 6 weeks compared to the sham group (43.6% vs 21.8%, P=.02).
  • Electroacupuncture demonstrated a relative risk of 2.00 for achieving UC.

Conclusions:

  • Electroacupuncture significantly accelerates post-RP UC recovery.
  • This therapy may serve as a safe adjunct to standard care for reducing early UI.
  • Findings support integrating electroacupuncture into multimodal rehabilitation protocols.
