Summary

To examine the effect of electromagnetic stimulation combined with visceral manipulation on stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women

Detailed description

According to the authors' knowledge, no prior studies that included MS with a VMT maneuvers to improve the success rates of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) treatment. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of electromagnetic field stimulation with VMT and PFMT in treatment of postmenopausal women with SUI.

Conditions

• Stress Urinary Incontinence
• Postmenopausal Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Electromagnetic device	Health wave's generator (Manufactured with Simeds S.r.l. by Machiavelli, Italy, with serial number "11492".) with two separate emission channels and asynchronous operation was employed, along with 100 saved and storable programs that could be altered by the user (intensity, frequency and phase time). The different associated applicators are recognized automatically. Magnetic field strength up to "100" Gauss and output frequency from (1 - 100) Hertz are programmable.
OTHER	visceral manipulation therapy	for the pelvic reproductive organs and their related structures (ligaments and fasciae) was applied one session/week for 12 weeks. Each patient was was advised to evacuate her bladder before starting the treatment session, mobility and motility testing of pelvic organs, together with the assessment of fascial tension, was then performed, with detecting restrictions, treatment was applied according to Hebgen
OTHER	General advice	were directed for both groups in term of the following: Perform pelvic floor exercises regularly ; avoid constipation and straining; treat the cause of any chronic cough and infection of urethra or bladder; stop smoking; maintain a healthy weight; drinking sufficient amounts of healthy fluids (water); decrease the caffeine intake; and decrease the amount of acidic and spicy foods.
OTHER	pelvic floor muscle training	consisted of 24 sessions of 45-60 min each, twice a week, for 12 weeks. The PFMT was divided into four phases. Proprioceptive (3 weeks): where the woman has gained adequate perception of PFM and performed fast and slow contractions; Simple (3 week): performed with the objective of promoting control of fast and slow contractions associated with small functional exercises; Elaborated (3 week): where the exercise evolved into functional exercises of greater amplitude; and Power (3 week): where the maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor was promoted during efforts. In all sessions, contractions were performed for slow and fast fibers
