ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Extracorporeal magnetic innervation (ExMI) therapy has been known to be safe and immediately effective in stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, no long term follow-up results have been reported. Therefore; herein, are reported our results from a two year follow-up study on ExMI therapy, with pelvic floor muscle exercises, for SUI. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The study group was comprised of 94 patients with SUI. ExMI therapy was performed for 20 minutes (10Hz and 50Hz for each 10 minutes), twice a week, for 6 weeks. Thereafter, 44 of the 94 patients underwent pelvic floor muscle exercises. Objective measures (quality-of-life surveys, pad changes, and leak episodes per day) were evaluated before, immediately after and 24 months after the ExMI therapy.RESULTS:
After 6-week of ExMI therapy, the quality-of-life score improved from 5.1+/-0.9 to 1.8+/-1.1. The mean frequency of pad changes was reduced from 2.1+/-1.6 to 1.1+/-1.0. The mean frequency of leak episodes was also reduced from 2.8+/-1.8 to 1.7+/-1.5 times. After 24 months, the 44 patients having also undergone pelvic floor muscle exercise had persistent improvements in their leak episodes per day compared to the 50 patients that had not.CONCLUSIONS:
When ExMI therapy was followed by pelvic floor muscle exercises, the favorable effect in leak episodes per day after ExMI therapy may persist for at least 24 months.
