Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of external electric stimulating in individuals with urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.

Description:

Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in men after prostotectomy, and patients' quality of life is adversely affected. In addition, electric stimulation (ES) can be played an important role in the management of UI . However, there are limitations in clearly demonstrating the effects of ES on men with UI after prostatectomy.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pad Test	A 1-hour pad test will be applied. Beginning with an empty bladder, a pre-weighed sanitary napkin will be inserted into the underwear. The patient will be asked to drink 500 ml of water within 15 minutes and then remain active for half an hour. Then, various activities will be made to the patient to provoke involuntary urine leakage with a full bladder. weight will be measured.	change from baseline at 8 weeks
Primary	UI symptoms	The ICIQ_SF is a UI questionnaire that evaluates symptom type and severity. It consists of 6 questions in total and the total score is 3., 4., 5. It is obtained by adding the scores they get from the questions	change from baseline at 8 weeks
Secondary	Life quality	Life quality will be assessed with King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ).This questionnaire consists of two parts and 32 items.. The minimum possible score is 0 (best health) and the maximum possible score is 100 (worst health).	change from baseline at 8 weeks
Secondary	Sexual Function	Evaluation of sexual functions will be evaluated with International Index of Erectile Function IIEF-5 (IIEF-5), which is one of the most commonly used forms in men presenting with sexual complaints. It includes 5 main topics; erectile function, orgasm function, sexual desire, sexual intercourse satisfaction and general satisfaction are questioned with a total of 5 questions. Each question gets a score between 0-5. Total score; severe (5-7), moderate (8-11), mild-moderate (12-16), mild (17-21), no erectile dysfunction (22-25).	change from baseline at 8 weeks
Secondary	Evaluation of Subjective Improvement Perception	The subjective improvement of UI symptoms pf the patients after treatment was evaluated using a 4-item Likert-type scale.	after treatment (8th week)
Secondary	Evaluation of Treatment Satisfaction	After the 8-week treatment program, the patients' satisfaction with the treatment for UI was evaluated using a 5-item Likert-type scale.	after treatment (8th week)
