Acupuncture regulation of vesical function has its anatomicophysiological basis. The afferent nerves of two points Guanyuanshu and Pangguanshu and the bladder converge at lumbosacral spinal ganglions and lumbosacral spinal cord. Acupuncture transmits information upwards by peripheral afferent nerves. The effect of acupuncture depended mainly on supraspinal micturition centers. But previous micturition centers, with an electrophysiological method as the main means of observation. If the means of observation can be increased, and immunohistochemical, autoradiographic and molecular biological methods can be used to observe changes in neurotransmitters and their metabolic enzymes, receptors and ribonuclei acid systematically in nervous system including spinal micturition center,it will help to further expound the peripheral and central mechanisms of acupuncture regulation of vesical function.
