Efcacy of Electrostimulation and Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises in the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women: Randomised Controlled Trial

Background. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the most commonly used physiotherapy method in treatment of female stress incontinence; pelvic muscles (PFM) can be trained not only with exercise but also electrostimulation. The aim. To determine efcacy four weeks exercises and electrical stimulation urinary incontinence women. Methods. study involved 24 subjects who were randomly divided into two groups: combined electrostimulation (PFMES). Before after interventions, women’s quality life (QoL) was assessed according to International Incontinence Counselling Questionnaire – Short Form. Perineometry Pelvexiser perineometer measure strength, endurance vaginal resting pressure. Results. Both interventions signifcantly reduced episodes improved subjects’ life. PFM strength PFMT group from 12.33±3.37 19.97±3.38 mmHg (p=0.0008, d=2.26) PFMES 8.31±2.41 11.84 ±2.78 (p=0.003, d=2.6). 3.50±1.15 4.53±1.12 s (p=0.03, d=0.9), 2.92±0.47 3.67±0, 52 (p=0.001, d=1.45). Resting pressure 5.3±0.85 6.44±1.03 (p=0.005, d=1.25) 4.4±0.70 6.14± 1.47 d=1.5). Conclusions. PMF endurance, pressure, applied incontinence, as they safe well tolerated by patients. trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov Identifer: NCT05871281. Keywords: female, questionnaire.
