A Meta-analysis of effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation therapy combined with pelvic floor ;muscle functional exercise on female stress urinary incontinence in China / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess systematically the effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation therapy combined with pelvic floor muscle functional exercise on female stress urinary incontinence in China. Methods Relative literatures were searched by computer at home according to the inclusion and the exclusion criteria,which were analyzed by RevMan5.2 software, and literature selection and repetition were used according to the Note Express software. Results A total of 10 studies of randomized controlled or not randomized controlled trial were brought into the study by fixed effects model. A total of 969 cases were selected into the study, 496 in experimental group and 473 in control group. The results showed that biological feedback electrical stimulation therapy combined with pelvic floor muscle functional exercise could significantly improve the situation of female stress urinary incontinence ( OR=7.70, 95%CI 5.07-11.70, P<0.01). Removing the large sample literature, the results of sensitivity analysis were similar (OR=8.51, 95%CI 5.43-13.34, P<0.01), which indicated that the results were stable and reliable. Conclusions Biofeedback electrical stimulation therapy combined with pelvic floor muscle function exercise is a safe and effective method for the prevention and treatment of female stress urinary incontinence, worthy of further promotion.
