Ultra-High Frequency Spinal Nerve Neuromodulation for Improving Bladder Continence: Implications for Overactive Bladder Management.

Objective: Ultrahigh frequencies (UHF) have been shown to selectively suppress the sensory pathway with a rapid onset and prolonged effect compared with low frequencies. Few studies have explored the feasibility of UHF electrical stimulation in treating overactive bladder. This study aimed to investigate whether bladder overactivity could be inhibited by UHF stimulation at the L6 nerve root.

[Basic rules and characteristics of acupoint application therapy based upon data mining].

Objective: To analyze the basic characteristics of effects of acupoint application therapy in order to guide clinical decision better.

Methods: A database on acupoint application therapy was established first by collection, sorting, screening, recording, collation, data extraction, and statistical analyses of the related literature published in recent 60 years, and using modern computer system. Then, its predominant indications and application rules in clinical practice were analyzed using data mining techniques.
