Curative Effect of Different Biofeedback and Electrical Stimulation Solutions on Female Stress Urinary Incontinence / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the curative effect of different biofeedback and electrical stimulation solutions on female stress urinary inconti-nence(SUI). Methods A total of 40 female patients with mild-to-moderate SUI were randomly divided into two groups(n=20 each group)and treated by the biofeedback and electrical stimulation. In the treatment group,the current increased in the middle of the treatment on the basis of the initial threshold of stimulus intensity to make a new tolerable threshold of stimulus intensity. In the control group,the patients were treated with the initial threshold of stimulus intensity during the whole treatment. The curative effects in these two groups were determined by the comprehensive strength of pelvic floor,the 1 h urine pad test results,and the life quality scores of urinary incontinence. Results After treatment,there were signifi-cant improvements in all the above indicators in two groups(P<0.05),and the results is better in the treatment group than in the control group. The effective rate in treatment group(95%,19/20)was higher than that in the control group(65%,13/20)(P<0.05). Conclusion The biofeedback and electrical stimulation were effective and safe in the treatment of women with SUI. The curative effect of patients treated with increasing current in the middle of the treatment is better,suggesting that it can be widely applied in clinic.
