No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research will determine 1) whether the very weak pelvic floor can be improved with surface electromyography (s-EMG)-triggered electrostimulation added to pelvic floor muscle training and 2) whether sEMG-triggered electrostimulation added to pelvic floor muscle training can reduce leakage in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

Conditions

  • Pelvic Floor Muscle Weakness
  • Incontinence Stress
  • Electricity; Effects
  • Muscle Weakness Condition

Interventions

DEVICE

EMG-triggered ES

The ES treatment protocol consisted of daily endovaginal electrostimulation sessions for four weeks. We used a portable unit EVOSTIM ®, which allowed us to use different frequencies and length of impulse and a probe Perisphera ® The average current intensity was adjusted according to the sensation of discomfort in each patient.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

Standardization of the supervised PFMT To achieve standardization of supervised PFMT treatments, a written protocol for the physiotherapeutic examinations and PFMT program will be provided to the physiotherapists (or nurse or midwife) delivering the treatments (See Additional file).
