Clinical Trial 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)


Clinical Trial Description

Among women with pelvic floor dysfunction, it has long been known that PFM training is the first-line therapy for stress incontinence. One of the difficulties that clinicians often find upon examination is that many women present a very weak pelvic floor and are unable to contract their PFM. There is overwhelming evidence to show that conservative treatment in the form of pelvic muscle exercises (and to a lesser degree, electrotherapy, and vaginal weight therapy) is effective in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. To date, there is some evidence to support the use of electrical stimulation for stress urinary incontinence in women, but we are still very uncertain about the full potential of this treatment because of the low quality of the existing evidence. ;
