“…Além disso, há outras indicações para a utilização da acupuntura em situações relacionadas ao estresse, como nos casos de incontinência urinária secundária ao estresse (KIM et al, 2008;CHUNG et al, 2008), na melhora da capacidade da bexiga urinária, na frequência de micção e na qualidade de vida em mulheres acometidas por síndrome da bexiga hiperativa (EMMONS & OTTO, 2005), na atenuação da excitação simpática durante o estresse mental em pacientes acometidos por falência cardíaca avançada (MIDDLEKAUFF et al, 2002) e na abordagem terapeutica da reprodução equina (SCHOFIELD, 2008).…”

“…Although several approaches for management of this medical condition have been suggested, standard options have not demonstrated symptomatic improvement, and traditional pharmacologic treatments have not been consistently helpful 4 . Alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, are beneficial in treating a myriad of problems, such as urinary incontinence, chronic lower back pain, and migraines 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10…”

IntroductionFemale sexual dysfunction affects up to 43% of women in the United States and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is the most common type; however, we lack treatment options showing improvement for this condition.AimsTo investigate whether acupuncture therapy could improve HSDD.MethodsPremenopausal women with a primary diagnosis of HSDD were included in a single-arm prospective pilot study that was approved by the institutional review board. After providing informed consent, subjects completed validated questionnaires. Participants underwent 25-minute twice-weekly acupuncture sessions for 5 weeks with one certified acupuncturist. Questionnaires were completed again 6 weeks after onset of treatment.Main Outcome MeasuresBased on a statistically significant change in the desire domain of the Female Sexual Function Index from 2.0 (at baseline) to 2.4 (after intervention with a specialist) in our population of patients diagnosed with HSDD, a sample of 13 was determined, with 90% power and α 0.05.ResultsFifteen women were enrolled and 13 completed the study. Mean age was 36.9 ± 11.4 years. Most were white (n = 9, 60%), heterosexual (n = 15, 100%), and non-smokers (n = 14, 93%). Most were sexually active more than four times per month (n = 8, 53%) and none had a history of sexual abuse (n = 15, 100%). Participants received a mean acupuncture needle application of 17 ± 2 at each session. Sexual function improved after intervention, particularly desire (2.1 ± 0.6 to 3.3 ± 1.2, P < .0001), arousal (P < .0001), lubrication (P = .03), and orgasm (P = .005).ConclusionIn this cohort of premenopausal women with HSDD, 5 weeks of acupuncture therapy was associated with significant improvements in sexual function, particularly desire. This supports a role for acupuncture as a therapeutic option for women with low desire.

BackgroundIn women with mixed urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle training and solifenacin is the recommended conservative treatment, while electroacupuncture is a safe, economical and effective option.Methods/DesignIn this prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial, five hundred women with mixed urinary incontinence, from 10 centers will be randomized to receive either electroacupuncture or pelvic floor muscle training plus solifenacin. Women in the acupuncture group will receive electroacupuncture for 3 sessions per week, over 12 weeks, while women in the control group will receive pelvic floor muscle training plus solifenacin (5 mg once daily) for 36 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the proportion of change in 72-hour incontinence episode frequency from baseline to week 12. The secondary outcome measures include eleven items, including proportion of participants with ≥50% decrease in average 72-h incontinence episode frequency, change from baseline in the amount of urine leakage and proportion of change from baseline in 72-h incontinence episode frequency in week 25–36, and so forth. Statistical analysis will include covariance analysis, nonparametric tests and t tests.DiscussionThe objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture versus pelvic floor muscle training plus solifenacin in women with moderate and severe mixed urinary incontinence.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02047032
