Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Low-level light therapy

we used a skin-adhesive LLLT device called the Color DNA-WSF (Color Seven Co., Seoul, Korea) which consists of body for power supply and two microprocessor-controlled light-emitting diodes. We selected two acupuncture points, conception vessel 4 (CV4; Guanyuan) and CV6 (Qihai), for treating overactive bladder. The participants attached the skin-adhesive LLLT device probes to both acupuncture points according to treatment schedule.
