Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electric stimulation on urinary symptoms, quality of life, sexual function, perception of improvement and patient satisfaction in individuals with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence

Detailed description

One of the two most common complications after prostatectomy surgeries is urinary incontinence (UI) and the other is erectile dysfunction. There are conservative and surgical treatment options in post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. One of the conservative treatment options is neuromuscular electrical stimulation application. Since electrical stimulation applications, used in the treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, are usually given together with other treatment protocols, there are limitations in clearly demonstrating the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence.

Conditions

• Urinary Incontinence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Neuromuscular electrical stimulation application	It was applied with INNOVO brand (Atlantic Therapeutics, Galway, Ireland) device. It was applied for 30 minutes 3 days a week during 4 weeks
DEVICE	Sham neuromuscular electrical stimulation application	Sham group will be applied from the same device, again 3 days a week for 30 minutes during 4 weeks, but no current will be given from the device.
