Zusanli（ ST36） and Yanglingquan（ GB34） and western medicine including 0. 1 g Aspirin and 75 mg Plavix once daily for 4 weeks. The treatment group was added with ginger-salt-separated moxibustion on Shenque（ CV 8） five times weekly for 4 weeks. The frequencies of daytime and night urination and the scores of Barthel Index and incontinence degree were observed in both groups before and after treatment. Results The frequencies of daytime and night urination and the score of incontinence degree were significantly decreased but the score of Barthel Index was significantly increased in the treatment group after treatment（ P <0.01）. There were significant differences between groups in the frequencies of daytime and night urination and the score of incontinence degree after treatment（ P < 0. 01）. There was no significant difference between groups in the score of Barthel Index after treatment（ P > 0. 05）. Conclusion Ginger-salt-separated moxibustion on Shenque（ CV 8） can effectively relieve urge incontinence and improve life quality of ischemic stroke patients.
