What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Nocturia, the interruption of sleep due to nighttime voiding, severely compromises quality of life, emotional health, and overall well-being when occurring twice or more per night. Given that some patients experience inadequate responses to conventional Western therapies or harbor concerns about the long-term side effects of pharmaceuticals, many are turning to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for alternative solutions.
