简要总结
In this study, the effects of the external electrical stimulation (EES) added to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were investigated.
详细描述
Fifty one women with mild and moderate SUI symptoms were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups of PFMT (n:17), EES (n:17) and PFMT+ EES (n:17) by block randomization. The PFMT was applied every day of the week, and EES was applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), pelvic floor muscle endurance, subjective perception of improvement, severity of incontinence, quality of life, pelvic floor dysfunction (PTD) and urinary parameters were assessed as outcome variables. All measurements, except subjective perception of improvement were investigated before and after treatment.
