Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence

Clinical Trial Description

• Post prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) was common complication after radical prostatectomy among prostate cancer patients.

• The prevalence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence was reported at 87%.

• The pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) using Kegel exercise was first methods to prevent PPI after prostatectomy.

• However, there was no standardized protocol of the PFMT and it was necessary of biofeedback to PFMT.

• Therefore, we hypothesis the efficacy of personalized device of PFMT with biofeedback among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy

• In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence. ;
