简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electric stimulation on urinary symptoms, quality of life, sexual function, perception of improvement and patient satisfaction in individuals with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence
详细描述
One of the two most common complications after prostatectomy surgeries is urinary incontinence (UI) and the other is erectile dysfunction. There are conservative and surgical treatment options in post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. One of the conservative treatment options is neuromuscular electrical stimulation application. Since electrical stimulation applications, used in the treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, are usually given together with other treatment protocols, there are limitations in clearly demonstrating the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

结局指标
主要结局
Urinary incontinence severity
时间窗: change from baseline at 4 weeks
Urinary incontinence severity will be assess with a 1-hour pad test. This amount; less than 2 grams is considered normal, 2-10 grams is mild, 10-50 grams is moderate, and 50 grams is severe stress urinary incontinence.
次要结局
- Sexual function(change from baseline at 4 weeks)
- Patient satisfaction(after treatment (4th week))
- Presence of urinary incontinence symptoms(change from baseline at 4 weeks)
- Life quality(change from baseline at 4 weeks)
- Patients' subjective perception of improvement(after treatment (4th week))
