Summary

This study tests whether acupoint moxibustion—a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning herbs near the skin—can safely reduce how often people wake up to urinate at night. It includes 100 adults aged 40 or older who have at least two nighttime bathroom trips. The goal is to see if this alternative approach improves sleep and quality of life for those not helped by standard treatments.
