This study provides an in-depth perspective of moxibustion as a treatment option for urinary incontinence (UI), focusing on its clinical efficacy, underlying mechanisms, and potential integration into standard care practices. Moxibustion, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, involves the targeted application of heat from burning moxa at specific acupoints. Analyzing data from randomized controlled trials and retrospective studies, the study suggests that moxibustion effectively reduces UI symptoms and improves quality of life with minimal adverse effects.
