“…Reduction of frequency, urinary incontinence and number of pads used also occurred, besides the improvement in urodynamic data. Such reductions and improvements were also found in other studies (4,12,13,20,23,31,33,34). Brubacker (24) reports that "There is good evidence that the use of vaginal electrical stimulators can reduce the occurrence of symptoms of overactive bladder in about half of the patients treated".…”

“…When confronted with other forms of treatment such as medication (27,28,29) or pelvic loor exercises (14,28,30), electrical stimulation showed similar ef icacy (P ≤ 0.05) results which were also supported by other studies (9,13,33,34,35,36). Reduction of frequency, urinary incontinence and number of pads used also occurred, besides the improvement in urodynamic data.…”

“…The literature describes many treatments for patients with OAB symptoms such as medications (3,9,10,11), behavioral therapies, pelvic loor exercises (9), electrical stimulation (12,13), biofeedback (14), catheterization (10), intravesical botulinum toxin (15) and surgical treatment, usually indicated when conservative treatments are not effective (10). However, drugs may have some adverse effects (16) and lead patients to quit treatment, although they have been proven to be effective in reducing symptoms and they still are the irst choice for physicians.…”

“…It seems that one of the methods of physical therapy that may positively affect the pelvic floor is stimulation with high-inductive electromagnetic stimulation (HIES; high-inductive, deep-penetrating, pulsed electromagnetic stimulation) [11][12][13][14]. The use of other physical therapy in the treatment of SUI has been described in the literature [15][16][17][18], and electrotherapy is mainly used [16][17][18]. Many authors [9,10,19,20] have indicated the need for searching for new, more effective methods that can reduce the occurrence of urinary incontinence symptoms.…”

Background: Physiotherapy should be performed by patients with stress or mixed urinary incontinence (SUI and MUI) to increase the strength and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). A method that can positively affect the pelvic floor is stimulation with high-inductive electromagnetic stimulation (HIES). The aim of the study was to evaluate the PFMs after the application of HIES in women with SUI and MUI by using surface electromyography (sEMG). Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind study with a sham intervention group. The participants were randomly assigned to the HIES group or sham group. The outcomes were features of the bioelectrical PFM activity assessed using sEMG and endovaginal probes. A single-session intervention in the HIES group included 20 min of HIES with an electromagnetic induction intensity of 2.5 T. Results: In the HIES group, there was a statistically significant difference in the PFM sEMG activity during “contractions” (p < 0.001) and “quick flicks” (p = 0.005). In the intergroup comparison, higher PFM sEMG activity after the intervention (“contraction”) was observed in the HIES group than in the sham group (after: p = 0.047; 1 h after: p = 0.017). Conclusions: The assessed HIES method seems effective for SUI and MUI patients in the short term and shows an advantage over the sham intervention in the assessment of PFM contractions.

“…Female UI is a public health problem due to its high prevalence (200 million people around the world), significantly poor quality of life and depression, and cost of its management (6). The Clinical Practice Guideline issued by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research defined four types of UI: stress, urge, mixed, and overflow.…”

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine. UI can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating. For some women, the risk of public embarrassment prevents them from enjoying many activities with their family and friends.Women are four times more likely to be affected by UI compared with men. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common type of UI in women below age 60 and accounts for almost 50% of incontinence in all women.The minimum evaluation in women with symptoms of uncomplicated SUI includes history, urinalysis, physical examination, assessment of urethral mobility, demonstration of SUI, and measurement of postvoid residual urine volume. Additional diagnostic evaluation with multichannel urodynamic testing is helpful in women with complicated SUI, especially before surgical treatment. Clinical decision should help the health care providers to perform preoperative multichannel urodynamic testing or refer to an expert in urology who is skilled in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
