Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on postmenopausal woman with overactive bladder. Methods: The patient with overactive bladder was treated with Korean medicine treatment including herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion during 5 days of hospitalization. The effect of treatment on overactive bladder was evaluated through the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and questionnaires. Results: After the treatment, the overactive bladder symptoms of urinary frequency, urinary urgency and nocturia were improved. This was proven through subjective symptoms complained of by patients and objective measures such as questionnaires. Conclusions: This case report proved that the Korean medicine treatment may be effective for improving overactive bladder. However, further clinical studies with large number of subjects are needed to prove the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment for overactive bladder.
