Abstract：Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of functional magnetic stimulation in the treatment of patients with overactive bladder(OAB)and provide reliable evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice.Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on magnetic stimulation intervention in patients with OAB were retrieved from PubMed,Web of Science,EMbase,Cochrane Library,Scopus,VIP,CNKI,CBM,and WanFang Data.The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to January 2025.Two researchers independently completed literature screening and data extraction.The tools recommended in Cochrane Manual 5.1.0 were adopted for risk assessment of bias.RevMan 5.4 software was adopted for Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 11 articles were included,involving 765 patients.The results of the Meta-analysis showed that functional magnetic stimulation therapy could reduce the 24 hour urination frequency(MD=-2.33,95%CI-2.98--1.68,P<0.000 01)of OAB patients,increase the single urination volume(MD=21.47,95%CI 17.23-25.72,P<0.000 01),lower the OABSS score(MD=-1.44,95%CI-2.10--0.77,P<0.000 1),and enhance the initial bladder capacity(MD=14.45,95%CI 11.56-17.33,P<0.000 01).Conclusion:Functional magnetic stimulation could effectively improve the urination function and symptoms of patients with OAB.However,existing studies have limitations,and more high-quality RCTs are needed to further verify its efficacy and safety.
