The total effective rates of observation group and control group were 96.7%and 85.0%respectively with significant difference between two groups (P0.05). The total effective rate of observation group was markedly better than that of control group.[Conclusion]Therapeutic effect for nocturia with mutual-activating acupuncture is better than traditional acupuncture.
