[Effect of auricular acupuncture combined with intermittent catheterization on urethral sphincter overactivity in the patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury].

It can significantly reduce the MUP, the RU, and the incidence of urinary tract infections in the patients, regulate bladder balance status, and attenuate the symptoms of TCM.
