Effect of electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback in treating stress urinary incontinence in 57 aged females
Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect to treat stress urinary incontinence(SUI) in the aged females by electrical stimulation combined biofeedback.Methods Fifty-seven aged patients with SUI were carried out bio-feedback electrical stinulation by the devices of PHENIX USB4 ( made by the company of Electronic Concept Lignon Innonation) for 1 or 2 period of treatment.In 3 month after treatment, the effect was evaluated by the symptom and the objective index.Results After treatment,the total efficient ratio was 78.9%,with cured ratio 36.8%,ameliora-tive ratio 42.1%,resultless ratio 21.1%.Those patients with uterine prolapse /cystocele/urethrocele/rectocele had a sense of abridgement of the bumps.Sex life was improving in the 34 cases with dissatisfied sex life before treatment. The muscle strength testing scores of typeⅠ~Ⅱpelvic floor muscle increased evidently( P<0.05) .Muscle electro-physiology average was elevated(P>0.05).Fatigue test improved in type-Ⅱpelvic floor muscle(P<0.05),but de-creased in type-Ⅰpelvic floor muscle(P>0.05).Leakage times(LT) and abnormal A3 reaction was significantly lower after treatment than those before treatment( P<0.05) .Conclusion Electrical stimulation combined with bio-feedback was one kind of efficacious and harmless way for treating SUI in the aged females,worthy of using widely.
