This randomized controlled trial included a group of women (n = 40) with stress urinary incontinence. All patients received standard drug therapy and were randomized in two groups. The first (main, n = 18) group of patients received additional extracorporeal peripheral magnetic stimulation. The 2‑nd (control, n = 22) group of patients received an additional course of Kegel exercises. The state of the pelvic floor muscles was assessed according to perineometry data, and the general condition of patients was evaluated in accordance with the criteria that determine the patients’ quality of life. As a result of the course of complex treatment, clinical symptoms, as well as the indicators of the functional state of the pelvic floor muscles and quality of life criteria significantly improved in the patients of the first (main) group, compared with the results of treatment in the patients of the 2‑nd (control) group.
