The effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion in the elderly with nocturia: protocol for a randomized controlled trial
In this study, we aim to quantitatively analyse the therapeutic effect and safety of HSM on nocturia in the elderly, clarify the amount of moxibustion, the distribution pattern of heat-sensitized acupoints, the frequency of heat-sensitized acupoints, and the moxibustion sensation for the treatment of senile nocturia, which can bring insights into future clinical treatments.
