Abstract：Objective:To observe the clinical effect of noodle bowl moxibustion group in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children.Methods:Eighty cases of children with nocturnal enuresis admitted to hospital between January 2020 and June 2024 were selected and randomly divided into the western medicine group and the noodle bowl moxibus-tion group,with 40 cases in each group.The western medicine group was treated with desmopressin tablets,the noodle bowl moxibustion group was combined with noodle bowl moxibustion on the basis of the western medicine group,and moxibustion was applied once a week,with 3 strokes each time,and the treatment was consecutively carried out for 3 months.The clinical efficacy,Chinese medicine symptom score,bladder volume and wall thickness index(BVWI),the number of enuresis and safety were observed in the two groups.Results:The treatment effectiveness rate of the noodle bowl moxibustion group(93.33％)was significantly better than that of the western medicine group(71.88％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After treatment,the improvement of Chinese medicine symptom scores,BVWI,and the number of enuresis was more pronounced in the noodle bowl moxibustion group compared with the western medicine group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Noodle bowl moxibustion,as a means of external treatment in Chi-nese medicine,has shown some potential and feasibility in the clinical management of nocturnal enuresis.
